The topic for the blog today was Trends and lately I've been seeing all these cool backgrounds that people are making themselves with mist and masks. I wanted to try it out, but only had one color of mist (green) and that wouldn't work for this layout. So...I decided to break out my stamping ink and use that instead. I peeled off the backing from the swirl chipboard and laid it on my layout, then rubbed the ink pad over the mask. When done, I added the chipboard swirl over the top! Very simple and I love the custom look it created! I was very surprised at how the brown blended in so well with the background paper. Trial and error is so much fun!
I am definitely going to be doing more masking in the future!________________
This next card was created with the April card kit from Right at Home Scrapbooking! Please check out the kit! You get instructions, patterns and photos for 5 spring/Easter cards. Here is one of the cards you'll be creating...
There are tons of fun goodies in this kit, beautiful trims and gorgeous papers and rub ons!
Thanks for your sweet notes about the Label Tulip team, I'm very thrilled to have been asked to be part of LT and work with such amazing people. Don't forget to stop back tomorrow for the Pink Paislee blog hop! Hugs,

Great lo and cards. What punch are you using on the pp in the cards? Thanks!
Your LO is adorable! :) I have yet to try masking. Lately I have been stuck in a rut and I find myself just sticking with the tried and true. Glimmer mists are at the top of my shopping list, so maybe I will break out of my comfort zone soon. lol! Absolutely LOVE the butterfly on the card! Sounds like a great kit!
Cassie, I have the lace punch by Fiskars and that is what I used on the spring card.
