Pink Foliage, OLW 107 masking

Karen is hosting the One Layer Wednesday challenge this week; create a card using the masking technique.   That's simple.  I've been in love with SU French Foliage so I created a One Layer card, masking and a bit of pink foliage.

Lay your Post-It notes down on the card stock as shown below.  Make sure the Post-It notes are lined up evenly.  Use the SU Grid paper as a guide, a must have.  Start by sponging Melon Mambo onto the Post-It note, then off onto the card stock with a small circular motions. Don't rush.  Repeat the above step to your liking of shading. With the Post-It's still in place stamp what ever images you like and them remove the Post-It's. Add sentiment.

 

My swaps for September, made a bunch.
