This is the 2nd post for today! Don’t miss the Saturday Sketch below!!
Well it has been MONTHS since I have been able to participate in the monthly Dirty Challenge! I could not pass this one by.
Here are the details (and feel free to play along too!):
Challenge Focus: Create a NO LAYER card any size, any color. Your card base is it – no additional layers of cardstock or designer paper at all.
Required Element: Masking – use masking or reverse masking in some way to create your design
Restricted Element: No use of the color pink (any shade) – I can’t believe I just typed that – it might kill me.
Keyword: DCNL908
So here is what I came up with
Cultivated just for you!
I love that little sentiment. Its like a punny way to say “Hey look! I amde this!!” I adore Garden of Life. It is one of my faves, and SO underused. Pair it with another HUGE fave-Borders & Corners Circles and I am in heaven!
This is Papetrey Ink white cardstock (of course!) with black pallette ink, lemon tart (using a dirty sponge dauber, and tempting turquoise ink, since the set is a 2 step stamp 😀 I had to add the bling 😀
I LOVE circles, and thought that masking for this would be great for the challenge, and I think I was right.
I just punched a circle from some sticky paper, and stamped the flower in black. I then stamped the solid flower to layer in the outline. I then sponged in the open part of the circle! This is a super card for a quickie! This took LESS than 3 minutes! I kid you not!
So give it a try!

Beautiful card. I got the garden of life set from our PSF Majorette Laura in the secret friend swap and need to use it. I think I just might be up to trying something like this. Need to ink the set up soon before it wilts waiting.
