Zinnia Friendship

I have an almost one layer card to share.

The flower is Altenew Zinnia Magellan Rose, dated 2022. The dotted stencil is from SU Basic Patterns Decorative Masks, 2019 Holiday Catalog. To create this card, I stamped the Zinnia first, then stamped it onto a masking paper. I blended ink over the stencil next. I colored the zinnia with Zig Clean Color Markers. Everything was stamped with Versfine Black Onyx ink and embossed with clear embossing powder. I die cut my panel with Lawn Fawn Stitched Scalloped dies; they were a recent blog post win. I used Bristol paper for the images and placed it onto a MFT heavy weight vellum paper.

I am entering this into the Retro Rubber Challenge. I used row 2, stencil, die cut, and flowers.

I am also entering this in the Stencil Fun Challenge.

I created this card for a challenge at Splitcoaststampers for the group Challenge Your Stash. The challenge for February is to create a card with Love or Friendship. I chose friendship.

I enjoyed creating this card. It has been a while since I have masked and created an almost one layer card. I have never placed a card on a vellum card base. This is very strong vellum so it should hold well.

I understand we are heading to 70 degrees today! The weather has been fantastic this week. I even walked to the mailbox a few times which I have not been able to do for several months. I do like warmer weather and am very ready for spring to come and stay. Have a wonderful day and thanks for checking out my card.

    1. Thank you! I enjoy the Retro Rubber challenge. I have all retired product, so I have to search for a date on most of them.

  3. A pretty card and using the vellum this way is wonderful. Your colouring is as always, amazing.

    1. Thank you, Gaye. This is a first for me as I rarely mask, then stencil over the top. I was pleased that it turned out well.
