VIDEO | Sending Tons of Love

Hello there, I am delighted to be over on the My Favorite Things YouTube channel, sharing a card using the adorable YUZU Ear For You set. These elephants and mice are so cute! I thought I would make a one layer card today using masking. 

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.



I started off my card by stamping the images (elephant, mouse and tree log) from the MFT YUZU Ear For You Stamp Set onto masking paper. I then fussy cut them out using scissors. I placed them onto a scrap piece of paper so that I could figure out where I wanted to stamp them on the panel. This masking map/template is a great way to make sure you get the placement of the images exactly where you want them. 


I die cut a panel of white cardstock using the largest of the MFT Stitched Eyelet Lace Rectangle STAX Die-namics. Using the masking map/template as a guide, I stamped the images on top using black ink, adding the masks for the images where needed. I also stamped the sentiment from the set onto the panel too. I added ink blending around the images with Distress Inks and blending brushes. 


I used Twisted Citron for the grass/ground and Mermaid Lagoon for the sky. I then removed the masks and coloured the images using Copic Markers (the colours that I used are listed below the supplies area). I adhered another of the die cut panels to the back of the stamped one (for stability) and then adhered a mini (3.5" x 4.75") card base to the back. To finish off, I added white gel pen dots to the elephant's cheeks, black glaze pen to his eyes and clear glaze pen to the nose of the mouse.

Whilst it is a little more work, I do like that the images are all one, rather than them being die cut and then adhered. However, I still think that would look good too! Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope you have a wonderful day!
