Make it Monday on Friday ;)

What's up ladies?  (and any men reading)  It's Friday and there's nothing wrong with that!  It has taken me all week to figure out what I wanted to do for PTI's Make it Monday challenge.  This week the challenge was to use the negative part of your die cut as a mask.  You can see the original video HERE.

I started off with Papertrey's Stamper's Select White card stock and cut my card base.  Then I cut two pieces just smaller than my base at 4"x5 1/4".  I took one of these pieces and ran it through my Cuttlebug with my Mat Stack 1 die.  I placed it on top of the other 4"x5 1/4" piece and used a dried out baby wipe to blend Hawaiian Shores ink onto the card stock. One thing I noticed about using my ink this way was the difference in color you get with your ink.  The green in the Hawaiian Shores REALLY came out :)  After I got my blending the way I wanted it, I stamped my sentiment and adhere the whole piece to my card base with some foam adhesive.

I love how clean and simple this card turned out.  Complete difference from yesterdays card huh?  :)  Hope you have a fab weekend!  We have nothing big planned, tennis for Abie, maybe a little house cleaning.  What about you?

Thanks for popping in today!

    Most, if not all, my cards are clean and simple so I love that style. Your card is very pretty. I keep saying I'm going to do the MIM masking and just haven't done it yet. Your card is giving me inspiration to get it done!!

    Your card is stunning. I love that you popped the whole card front up and that it is the same colour.
    I have never inked with a baby whip before, such a soft and pretty look to it.
