Pop Of Petals On A Basic Pattern - Sneak Peek 2019 Holiday Catalogue

This card features another of my experimental backgrounds using the new Basic Pattern Decorative Masks - a sneak peek from the 2019 Stampin' Up Holiday Catalogue.  You can see another one here and there'll be more coming up on Friday 23rd August.

A card featuring a background made with the Basic Pattern Decorative Masks from the 2019 Holiday Catalogue
and the Pop Of Petals stamp set with coordinating Four-Petal Flower Punch.

This time, I spritzed through the mask with my very diluted Bermuda Bay ink then I removed the mask, rinsed it, patted it dry and then repositioned it slightly down and to the left of the original sprayed pattern.  I then spritzed with a dilution of Blueberry Bushel ink.

Well, I think I should have allowed the first layer of ink to dry more, because the Blueberry Bushel ink bled a little bit and also pooled under the mask in one area.  The overall effect was not what I had envisaged and my first reaction was to throw it away.  But then the thriftier side of me kicked in and I decided to simply cover up the worst of the splodges!  What would you have done?

My splodgy background, saved by covering up the splodges with flowers!

My Pop of Petals stamp set and coordinating Four Petal Flower Punch is very under-utilised, so I decided to make a little cluster of flowers with them.

Using a template and Stamparatus to quickly stamp punched (or die cut) shapes.

When previously using this set, I had made myself a little template for easy stamping with the Stamparatus, so it was quick and easy to punch out the shapes, quickly align the stamp and then stamp the flowers.
