Good Friday morning! It’s cool here in the northeast – 54 degree when we walked. And that means fall is a-comin’. That’s perfect for today’s card because I chose to use one of the masks in the new Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks.

I used Blending Brushes and three colors of ink to create this with one of the new Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks: Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Cherry Cobbler – definite fall colors. And here’s the mask after using the Blending Brushes.

You can see that I held the paper in place AND the mask in place using post-it notes. And that is a key to making the finished product clear. I trimmed the Basic White panel a bit then with a Water Painter added some water splotches. I did this by squeezing just a bit of water into the brush then tapping it against my other hand. Once dry I used an Early Espresso Marker to flick some splatters to the entire panel. This was added to a Cherry Cobbler panel just slightly larger. I wanted the card base to be Pumpkin Pie card stock, but also wanted some texture on the card – so ran a separate panel of Pumpkin Pie through the cut & emboss machine with the Basics 3D Embossing folder, Crosshatch. This is a product part of the Online Exclusives. This embossed panel was adhered to the card base withn loiquid glue and the top two panels were added with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment using another new product available Sep 6, the Abundant Leaves stamp set in Cherry Cobbler ink on another Basic White piece, and die cut it with a die from the Abundant Leaves Dies. I also wanted another image behind the sentiment and looked at the Abundant Leaves Dies and say this image that is really ‘veins’ for a leaf. I die cut it from Early Espresso card stock and added it with dots of liquid glue to the card front, putting dimensionals on the sentiment and adding it over the die cut. As a final touch I added three Adhesive-Backed Speckled Dots – also a new product available Sep 6.

Using the die cut from Abundant Leaves Dies as a stencil, I used the Blending Brushes used to create the card front, to create the image on the inside of the card. Again, the Basic White panel was adhered to a Cherry Cobbler card stock then added to the inside of the card.

With the Abundant Beauty Masks still on my desk, I used the mask and Blending Brushes to decorate the envelope, some leaves on the front, then the entire flap. it ties everything together. Abundant Beauty Masks – a real bargain and a fun play with Blending Brushes!

Remember, several of the items used to create this card will be available Sep 6 as they are in the Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog.
