The Wednesday Challenge this week at Simon Says Stamp is Masking and the featured stamp company is Altenew.   I love Altenew stamps and I just received the Peony Bouquet stamp set in the mail so why not use it.

I have to say this project did not come easy. First I had an idea in my head that I just could not seem to get on paper.  The first peony was absolutely perfect,  the colours were wonderful and the layering spot on, but things began to unravel after that. First I dropped an inked image on the card front and then smudged it some more with an inky finger.    Next attempt I didn’t like the colours and the attempt after that my paper shifted unbeknownst to me in my Misti.  And then, well you get the picture.  I had to go to bed before there was craft room road rage.

Today was better and here is the resultant card.

Supplies:  Altenew Peony Bouquet Stamp set,  Woodware Mr & Mrs stamp, Recollections cardstock, Hero Arts and Simon Says Stamp dye inks,  Recollections embossing powder,  Simon Says Stamp card base and Scor tape.
