This little 3×3 card was one of the Make & Takes from our convention class.  It uses a reverse masking technique.  In our kit was a piece of card stock that had been cut with the Circles #2 die for the Big Shot.  Using the negative piece (not the circles) we placed this over our card stock to create a mask on the outside edges of the card.  Then using a Stampin’ Sponge add color to the inside of the circle.  We also stamped the leaf image before removing the mask.  Make sure your mask doesn’t move while you are doing the sponging and stamping – I have a little shadow on mine because I slipped just a bit.

The words were added after the mask was removed – I needed to scoot mine over just a bit so it wasn’t on top of my leaves.  It’s not perfect but it’s still a cute card.

I used this card as one of the projects at my Open House for everyone to make.  My oops was that I thought I had envelopes for the 3x3s but I was wrong – sorry about that.
