Muse, masking, monochrome and blending

Here's another card I managed to create this weekend. When I saw last week's Muse inspiration, I immediately thought of the frame of the Masterpiece Make It Market kit by Paper Trey Ink that I purchased last month.



I decided to combine the frame with the city stamp that was also included in the kit. I stamped both images in Navy Blue Mid-Tone ink (Hero Arts) onto Soft stone cardstock (PTI). I then stamped the city image again on a piece of Post-it to create a mask. I also masked off the sides and top of my sky and sponged in the sky with three shades of blue (Surf Blue by SSS, Pool by HA and Navy Blue by HA). I love how it turned out. Also love that the card can be used for different occasions, so I did not add a sentiment. I can always stamp a fitting sentiment on the inside when I want to send the card.

Below is the card by Marion Vagg that inspired my card.
