OLW 110 Squares

Hi, today I played along with One Layer Wednesday, the theme is Squares. My square is actually white space inside a rectangle.

I taped off the rectangular area, then placed a punch masking tape square to the left side. I misted granite Glimmer Mist by Tattered Angels, Stamped the sentiment with Memento London Fog ink. Then I took my masks away and stamped a small flower.  The flower was colored with Distress Markers in Fired Brick and Barn Door.  I then outlined it with a black Sharpie. Stamps were from the Penny Black set 30-031 Flower Gallery.

I wanted subtle with a color pop...I think I achieved it.

Thanks for stopping and taking a look.

OLW 106 Sponging

My morning routine generally begins with breakfast and a leisurely stroll through my subscribed blogs. Today, I decided to take up and try a challenge.  I've done masking maybe once or twice, so this was definitely a challenge for me.

I used artist's masking tape to block off my borders, then created the upper and lower wavy mask.  I used distress inks in two colors (baby steps), and added the lighthouse and sentiment stamp.

Thanks for taking a look.
