1. The base of the card is Thick Basic White cardstock cut at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored at 4-1/4” in the middle.
2. The second layer is Tahitian Tide cardstock cut at 4” x 5-1/4” and inserted into the Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder and run through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine.
3. Ink up the florals from the Enduring Beauty stamp set with Tuxedo Black Memento on Basic White cardstock. I used the retired Stamparatus or Clear Block F.
4. Masks are numbered at the top left corner that has a notch. Start with Mask 1 and align over the stamped floral image to color in the basic flower with Tahitian Tide ink using the Blending Brush in a swirling motion but not too hard. Use tape to hold in place. Then use Mask 3 over the stamped floral image and use Tahitian Tide ink color again. It will make the shadows of the flower a deeper color. If you prefer, you can start with the leaves instead. Then you’d start with Mask 2 and use Parakeet Party ink. Then Mask #4 for the veins of the leaves use Parakeet Party ink again.
5. Stamp “Thank You” with Tahitian Tide ink on Basic White and use the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut a banner out. I reinserted the banner and cut it off shorter because it was too long for my thank you stamp from the Trusty Tools stamp set.
6. I adhered the label at the bottom of my card and adhered the floral stamp with Stampin’ Dimensionals but turned it to fit at a different angle than the mask.
