MIM #250 + SSC #127



MAKE IT MONDAY 
MASKED BACKGROUNDS

Laurie Willison  is up on MIM this week showing us  her step by step instructions on how to create amazing masked backgrounds.
You can watch her wonderful video HERE.  You still have a little time to join in the fun.
My card~
I masked off the white cs border with post-it notes and used daubers to sponge on the turquoise, lime green and avacardo, which looks like muddy brown in photo :(  Then I added my Song Birds dies to create the silhouette effect on this note card, which needs to get into the mail to let my cousin know I am thinking of her.

I am also adding this card to 
SUNDAY STAMPS CHALLENGE #127
Thank you, Theresa for choosing my beachy scene card as one of the Top Cups in last week's challenge :-)  It was such a fun challenge!
This week at SSC it is all about Color.  We are to use a minimum of three or more of these beautiful colors plus a neutral of your choice. 
BTW ~ This is one of my very favorite color combinations!
Check out what the awesome and talented Design Team has created HERE.
