Guest Designing at CUYL: Masking



Hello everyone!
I am so sorry I have not visited your blogs in a while. Will make sure to stop by over the weekend.
It's my third card for the Challenge Up Your Life guest DT spot.
This fortnight the theme is

MASKING

Here is what I made:

Hero Arts Antique Engravings

This is a total Hero Arts card. Have not made one in a while. 
I stamped a butterfly on a separate piece of cardstock and used it as a mask to stamp several of them on the watercolor paper.
I also masked some parts of the butterfly with my versamark pen and then clear embossed it. I also used glossy accents as a mask (thanks Tejal for the tip!). 
The butterflies have been watercolored using several colours of distress inks.
Both stamps are by Hero Arts. The sentiment is heat embossed.
Stop by the CUYL challenge blog to enter!
That's all from my side today.
Have a wonderful day :)
- Erum

Hello
Want to drop a note to thank you for your sweet comments. They mean a lot to me that you have taken the time to stop by. I have not been on the computer much. As I am caregiving for a dear friend who had Stage 4 Lung Cancer. Every day her fragile body is deteriorating. I have not ever seen someone dying right in front of me. All I can do is just keep her comfortable, encourage her and trust the Lord to be her comfort and joy. So please do not be dismayed, when I am unable to stop by your blogs and leave some love.
Your project/card is amazing and look forward to stopping by when I can. Have a wonderful day and even better week.
In His Joy
Berni
