~Second LIM:Masking~

This week's Less Is More Challenge is a sketch!




This is my second entry.



I've seen so many beautiful submissions that entailed masking borders.




I figured this was the challenge to give it a go! ;)




(Basic Grey Tranquil,Technique Tuesday Growing Wild,Tim Holtz Distress Inks marmalade and pine,stipple brush,Creative Memories corner rounder,Copic marker for pollen,American Crafts AC cardstock)


I masked the border with post-it notes and laid some quilling strips down in a zigzag.


A stipple brush was used to apply two distress inks that were chosen for



FYI: For Your Inspiration Challenge #22.




Once again...a gorgeous photo! I can't get it out of my head.

 The greens, oranges and yellow HAD to make it onto my card.


There is no greater artist than God!








Thanks for stopping by...especially if it was more than once today! ;)


I really do appreciate it.

    Marlena, I think this is one of my favorite cards that you have made! The masking looks great. You inked up the perfect amount of color too. And you are so right -- there is no greater artist than God:)
