Wishing



It's time for AAA Cards Game #46 : 
“MASK-erade”

MASK: hide, conceal, disguise, cover up, obscure, screen, cloak, camouflage, veil.

Get your MASK on and create a project using one, some, or all of the following:
·      Masking technique.
·      Masquerade Theme.
·      Inspiration from the Game #46 inspiration photo above.

Here is my take on the game:

I wanted to make a beautiful sunset scene on a card to send to my dear far away friend for her birthday. Though this is not a traditional birthday card, it is perfect for her. It puts me so in mind of the gorgeous sunsets on Barnegat Bay from our roof deck on Long Beach Island.  I used THIS tutorial by Theresa Momber to help me get that beautiful richness of color. Theresa is a sponging rock star. All of the the inks I used are Ranger distress inks except for the sentiment, which is VersaFine Onyx Black.  The stamped image is from Penny Black : Winter Sky. The die cut and stamped sentiments are Simon Says Stamp.

I am also linking this creation to the following:

Addicted To Stamps Challenge #157: MAKE YOUR MARK - Use anything that will make a mark on your project. Markers, paints, sponges etc.
Seize The Birthday Challenge : Anything that Flies.  Although this is a non-traditional birthday card, it is a birthday card, and there are birds on it!

Thank you so much for stopping in today. Your comments make my day!

    GASP! Breath-taken away at how stunning your sponging is and the scene you've created is beyond impressive! I feel as if I've been transported right there...to watch that beautiful sunset and see the birds flying in the dusk sky. In awe, my friend! I'm thrilled you shared this in the ATSM gallery; you've definitely made your mark with this work of art!
