I've been playing around with masks lately and I have the resulting layouts to share with you today! Each one uses a mask as the foundation of the design, but in three different ways. These are the three masks I used -
First I used acrylic paint with a circle mask. I mixed some paints until I had the desired shade of green and then painted within the circles using a sponge brush. I mostly used Crate Paper DIY Shop on this layout, but the background paper is from Crate Paper The Pier.
On this layout I used a mask on white cardstock. I sprayed Mister Huey mist and then cut out the resulting chevron pattern and used it as a layer on my layout. I used the lovely new Crate Paper collection, The Pier this time.
I had fun with watercolors on this third layout about Mason's new glasses! I used watercolor papers to paint within the pattern of the mask. This layout also uses The Pier by Crate Paper.

I don't make cards very often, but if there's anyone I know that appreciates a hand made card, it's definitely my mother. She is a beautiful person and I'm very blessed to have her as my mother so I took some time to try to make a special card for her.

The newest collection by Crate Paper is called The Pier. I'm in love with this summery collection! It has inspired me to scrap some beach and pool photos, and that's always a fun subject! The entire collection is available now at Two Peas here. Check out the slide frames and ephemera pack - they are so fun!
My first layout using The Pier was created for Creative Weekly at the Crate Paper blog last month. Our theme was Color Collage, meaning a collage type of design focusing on one color family. I chose to work with the lovely blues/greens in the collection. This photo shows my boys at the beach a few years ago. I love how the colors of the ocean complement the colors of The Pier collection perfectly! I started off using this mask with acrylic paint plus some splatters of Mister Huey in Mint Julep. Then I layered lots of papers and embellishments and added one of the slide frames on top of my photo. The result was just right for a beachy photo... and I have quite a few more that I'm planning to scrap with this collection!
