I have been enjoying creating single layer cards of late and I had fun creating this one as well! This was a bit more time consuming than the others since it involved a few layers of masking but I love the outcome. To start, I first took a 4.5″ x 5.75″ piece of scrap paper and stamped out my scene, making changes and re-stamping images as I went until I got what I was looking for.

I then laid this piece on top of the same size piece of Neenah Solar White 110lb cardstock in my MISTI and layed my images one by one exactly where I wanted them on my scrap piece, attached the stamp to my MISTI, and then stamped the actual image onto my final project. I started with the images that would be in front of everything first, masked them (using some Gina K Designs Masking Magic Sheets), and then stamped any images that would look to be behind items. I love how masking helps create depth without actually having any.

Once all of my images were masked, I then masked off an area for the floor and blended some Distress Oxide Inks for my background. I used Abandoned Coral, Picked Raspberry, and Tattered Rose. Once blended, (with masks still intact), I then splattered some opaque white and red paints using a round #4 brush for added interest. I then removed my masking sheets and allowed my panel to completely dry before coloring.

Next, I trimmed my piece down to 4″ x 5.25″ and layered it with both some white and red pieces of cardstock. I then used Copic Markers to color everything.
