We all love new stuff. I HAD to have a play with my new Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks. I managed to use five of the six colours – I couldn’t find a place for Garden Green.

I added some of the flowers to the insert to have the inside and outside matching.

The Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks are available in the upcoming September – December mini catalogue. You can order them on the 6th September.

Is there something that you don’t recognise in this card? I have a sneak peek on one of the dies that is coming in the new mini catalogue. It looks like a gate or fence in this card, but it can also be used as a bridge and is from the Playing In The Rain dies which is from the Rain Or Shine suite

Sometimes when I look at a colour challenge an idea just pops into my head. other times I write the colours down on my grid paper and look at them while I am stamping until I get an idea of how to use them. This was one of the times where I had the list written down and suddenly the colours said “wild flowers”

To get the different colours on the single stamp, I applied my Stampin’ Write Markers directly onto the stamp.
