Layering Leaves & Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks for my November 2023 Classes

The Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks are so easy to use and can create many beautiful cards.  The masks are only $10.50 and when you add cardstock the results are amazing.

I am offering this card at both of my November 2023 classes, and I am excited to share this technique.

Recipe:

• The Orchid Oasis base is 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4.
• The Basic White layer is 5 1/4 x 4.
• The next 5 x 3 3/4 layer of Orchid Oasis is inked with Orchid Oasis, a Blending Brush and a mask from the Abundant Beauty Masks.
• The 3 3/4 x 1 1/8 Basic White piece is the base for the 3 3/4 x 1 Orchid Oasis that has been embossed with the Quatrefoil Tile folder.
• To make the flowers, I used the number 1, 3 and 4 of the decorative masks and Orchis Oasis, Night of Navy & Crumbcake inks.  I then cut out the flowers with my amazing SU Paper Snips, and added them to the card with Multipurpose glue and dimensionals.
• The words, from Layering Leaves, are stamped with Orchid Oasis ink on Basic White and cut out with an Autumn Leaves Die.
• I added three 2023-24 In-Color Pearls.
• All done and remember to decorate your envelope.
