Hydrangea Bloom Mask Off Project

Hello Again! It's Amanda, The Crafty Ladybug and Welcome Back to my Craft Nook!!!

I told y'all I love masking off!

 The sense of depth that can be created will make them "oooh" and "ahhh"!
It seems technical but its super simple!!

I stamped the hydrangea bloom (Bloom Burst Stamp Set) at least twice on copy paper and fussy cut those images out. I also stamped a few leaves and fussy cut those as well. I didn't bother with the stem this time.

I used Pretty Amethyst True Fusion Ink and stamped the first bloom at the bottom center. Don't be afraid to stamp off the page either!

Then covered it with the prepared mask and stamped on either side using Beach Breeze.

I continued masking and stamping to creating a border but left the right area open. I also stamped a few leaves and placed the masks where needed. 

Next comes the color! I brought out all of the Pan Pastels there were in the blue, purple, and green families. Going from dark to light I shaded each petal and leaf.

Hint** Areas that have direct light leave those areas "colorless". Meaning don't add PanPastels... Let the color of the paper show**

I created a soft sky using the palest of blues and white for the background...

In the upper hand right corner, I stamped the "thinking of you" sentiment.

Oh and had to splatter some Sparkle Silk for a little extra glitz.

I love how this project turned out!
