Clean and Simple Card Making - Day Two

On Day Two of our Clean and Simple class, we learned techniques for masking and reverse masking. I chose to use a stencil of a California poppy. The design was actually created on the Silhouette by my sister Chrissie who shared it with me. I had whined to her about the fact that I could never find a great stamp of the beautiful California poppy, our State flower. She graciously created this for me. I used Distress Inks in Wild Honey and Spiced Marmalade for the flower, and Mowed Lawn for the stem. The border around the card is a stamp from the February Simon Says Stamp kit. Love it. The sentiment is from my stash. Thanks for looking.
