another challenge card

Here's another card I did for the Hero Arts one layer challenge. And of course, there's more masking. It really is a great way to give your one-layer cards dimension and interest without adding bulk.

With this card, I tried to mimic a strip of my favorite patterned paper - the Bo Bunny tone-on-tone dotted papers:



Again, sorry about the photo. The red strip was masked and brayered with Lipstick Red chalk ink, the dots were stamped with a darker burgundy red ink (Maroon chalk ink, I think?), and then the flourish stamped over that. All stamps (dots, flourish, and sentiment) are Hero Arts. Do me a favor, will you? Just pretend that you don't see the red fingerprint smudges all along the crease... I did my best to edit them out, but I can still see them and it's driving me batty. Grr, the pitfall of working with glossy card stock. ;)

We're in for even more snow today! It's so weird... been such a mild winter and now, all of a sudden, while everyone else is celebrating the beginning of spring and warmer weather, we're getting dumped on. LOL But, it is still desperately needed moisture, so I can't complain too loudly.

Thanks so much for peekin'. Have a great day! :)

SUPPLIES
All stamps are Hero Arts (Thank You Flourishes, Card Messages, and Tiny Jubilee Dots), inks are Colorbox and Memories, flowers are Paper Studio, Hero Arts, and Chatterbox (rhinestone flower), and black gemstones are Hero Arts.
