Simon Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes

Here is Simon Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes, below is the challenge photo:

And here is the card I created to attend this challenge:


I was inspired with Jennifer McGuire's live video on the masking technique and created this card. I stamped the flower (from Concord & 9th' Eclectic Blooms stamp set) on the white cardstock. I also used the matching die to cut this flower shape from masking paper and covered it on the stamped flower. Then I used the masking strips to diagonally mask the background and ink blended different shades of blue and green on the background. Once it is done, I removed all masking strips and flower mask to have the string result. Finish the card by attaching "thanks" die cut (from Concord & 9th's Eclectic Blooms die set) at the bottom of the card. Below is another look of the card:


Supplies:

Cardstock: Spellbinders, Neenah

Ink Pads: Altenew, Gina K Designs
