In the video today I will show how I put together these cards using a mask to create the circle frame.  And I also share a trick with one of my husband's tools (I have my own now!) that will make lining up your images & sentiments easy!



I hope you enjoyed the video!  (Don't forget comments for the prize must be left on my YouTube channel, not on my blog!)  Isn't the Digital Caliper tool so cool for centering images, sentiments & other embellishments!  I can't tell you how many times it has come in handy...now if they'd make it in aqua or pink it'd match my other crafty supplies! :)

Stamp Masking with Wonderful Wildflowers

This is the card I created in the video.  I started by masking my circle with a very thin, lightweight masking paper and then proceeded to stamp the floral images from Wonderful Wildflowers around the perimeter of the circle.  I used the Focus on the Good Floral stamp set to add in the three dots and the sentiment.  For the bottom strips I cut apart part of the BFF Background that I had stamped and adhered it.  

This card is very similar to the first card except for this one I used a sentiment from the Good Things Stamp set.  I also left a larger piece of the BFF Background on my cardfront (honestly, it's actually covering up a fairly large ink smudge that happened after I had finished stamping the circle!). 

Your next stop on the hop is to Sandy Allnock. If you get lost along the way, visit Ardyth’s blog for the full list of participants. 

Don't forget to leave a comment on my video! Someone from the comments left on my video will win 2 Catherine Pooler ink pads. Good luck!
