This is the 2nd post for today! Don’t miss the Saturday Sketch below!!

Well it has been MONTHS since I have been able to participate in the monthly Dirty  Challenge! I could not pass this one by.

Here are the details (and feel free to play along too!):

Challenge Focus: Create a NO LAYER card any size, any color. Your card base is it – no additional layers of cardstock or designer paper at all.

Required Element: Masking – use masking or reverse masking in some way to create your design

Restricted Element: No use of the color pink (any shade) – I can’t believe I just typed that – it might kill me.

Keyword: DCNL908

So here is what I came up with

Cultivated just for you!

I love that little sentiment. Its like a punny way to say “Hey look! I amde this!!”  I adore Garden of Life. It is one of my faves, and SO underused. Pair it with another HUGE fave-Borders & Corners Circles and I am in heaven!

This is Papetrey Ink white cardstock (of course!) with black pallette ink,  lemon tart (using a dirty sponge dauber, and tempting turquoise ink, since the set is a 2 step stamp 😀 I had to add the bling 😀

I LOVE circles, and thought that masking for this would be great for the challenge, and I think I was right.

I just punched a circle from some sticky paper, and stamped the flower in black. I then stamped the solid flower to layer in the outline. I then sponged in the open part of the circle! This is a super card for a quickie! This took LESS than 3 minutes! I kid you not!

So give it a try!
