Simple Masking Technique Card

So many times I get caught up in using a stamp set straight out of the box that I don't think of other ways to maximize their value. That was the case with the In Full Bloom set. I was tired of seeing the great big flower that everyone was using and practically ignoring the rest of the set. On this card I took a different approach. I carefully cut off the stem from the five point flower (the white one) and set it aside for future use. Then I used that flower along with the other flower in the set and used the masking technique to make a strip of flowers. Since I was masking, I decided not to use the two-step portion of the set...instead I opted to watercolor the flowers.
