Okay, so back to the point. This week, the talented Betsy is teaching us how to do Ghost Masking....soooo fun. Soooo hard for me...and so I decided to keep the layout the same in order to not complicate this more than I did. Yep. I DO tend to make things more difficult than they have to!
Here's the first card I made~
Details~
Now, I don't have a border for my Nestabillities, and so I had to free hand it. It's too clunky too me. AND, I forgot to stamp off the first leaf branch that I restamped...did you even notice? I DO. ALSO, the sentiment looks cool, but doesn't really fit with the theme of the card. What was I thinking?! BTW, I had to use some specialty pearly paper because I went down to craft only to find out that I'm OUT OF WHITE CARDSTOCK. What?! But it looks cool...okay, so after this semi-disaster, I decided to have another go. SOOOOOO LOVE the second one!
My second card~

Ah. Much better! I think it is so pretty!!! The frame is once again free handed--but less chunkily. And I got to use my new set from Pink Paislee's Nantucket line. LOVE it! :) I'm also submitting this second card into the JUGS collage challenge, the Gingersnaps challenge to use a line or set (NEW Pink Paislees! :) ) and the Prairie Fairy Friday California Dreaming challenge (whenever I think about CA, I think of the sea!).
So, I do hope you'll come and play along with us at MIM, JUGS, Gingersnaps, and PFF! We always have a fun time, and the DT creations are AMAZING! :) Happy stamping!

Agreed that this was a hard technique - but you wouldn't know it by looking at your cards!! They are gorgeous!! And the seafare one is so fresh and unexpected! love!!
Seriously...you free handed that frame? Incrediby! And you absolutely rocked the MIM technique and the collage challenge! thanks so much for playing along with us at Just Us Girls!
Well look at you!!! So happy you finally took the leap Mynnette. And yes PTI paper totally counts. I think my first MIM was done with just dies from PTI;didn't own anything else from them yet LOL! Great job on both cards ;)
Well, I like both of your cards! But I do like the way the second fits more with the sentiment. ;-) I love the colors you've used - so lovely together. And fabulous job on your free-handed frame - wow! ;-)
Well I don't think you should point out all the things you don't like ! As for me I thought everything was well matched beautifully stamped and totally harmonious . Another beautiful card well done
