I finally got the Layers of Beauty bundle, I am not sure why I didn’t have it already. I made this anniversary card which is great to have a set to do something different. Using the masks was a lot of fun and it adds a layer of elegance.
To create this card, you just need a few things:
- White card stock
- Impressions Abloom designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
- Layers of Beauty stamps, dies and masks (Stampin’ Up)
- Two layering label dies
- Inks
- Black StazOn ink
- Darling Duckling ink (Stampin’ Up)
- Daffodil Delight ink (Stampin’ Up)
- Crushed Curry (Stampin’ Up
- Wild Wasabi (Stampin’ Up)
- Blending brushes (Stampin’ Up)
- 2021-23 In Color Opal Rounds
- Paper trimmer
- Adhesive of choice
With the white cards stock cut a card base to 4 ¼” x 8 ½”, folded in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½” and two pieces to 3 ¾” x 5”. From the Impressions Abloom designer series paper, find the Darling Duckling grid paper and cut two pieces to 4” x 5 ¼”.
With a spare piece of white card stock and your Black StazOn ink, stamp the large three roses stamp twice. Gather up your three yellow inks and Wild Wasabi ink, a blending brush and your masks. With Mask #1 align over your stamped roses and use either washi tape or a Post-It note to hold in place. Then use your Darling Duckling ink and rub your blending brush around on your ink pad and then swirl around on a spare piece of paper to get the ink lightened and then swirl across your mask to color in a portion of the roses. Do the same process with mask #2 and the Daffodil Delight ink and then mask #3 and the Crushed Curry ink. Now with mask #4 and the Wild Wasabi ink put a light layer on the leaves and with mask #5 I used Wild Wasabi ink again but as a second layer and a little darker to highlight the leaves. Use the large die to cut the rose grouping out. Follow the same process for the second set which you will be using the large rose and the small rose individually. Use the large rose die to cut out that rose individually and then cut out the small rose with a pair of scissors.
On a scrap piece of white cards stock find the “Happy Anniversary” stamp from the Layers of Beauty stamp set and stamp with your Black StazOn. Use a smaller label die to cut out and then with a larger label die cut a piece of the Darling Ducking grid designer series paper and layer the labels.
Take on of the Darling Duckling grid paper pieces you cut and adhere to the front of your white card base. Then adhere one of the white cut pieces to the front of that. Now with your full rose set that you colored and cut out, align where you would like it, I did cut off a few leaves to make it fit the way I wanted. Take the large colored and cut out rose and align that to the upper right to fill in the rest. Now adhere your layered label in the lower right corner. Take a few of the yellow opal embellishments and sprinkle around to your liking.
With the remaining piece of Darling Duckling grid paper and adhere to the inside of your card and then the piece of white card stock to that. Adhere the small rose you cut out in the lower left corner and then find the “you make my heart smile” stamp and stamp to the upper center with your Black StazOn.
There you are, you have an elegant anniversary card for someone you love or for a couple celebrating an anniversary.
