Masking a Playroom Scene

Hello everyone!  Winnie  and Walter (W&W) turned 5 last month and celebrated with a Birthday Bash of fun challenges ending tomorrow.  I started out with a simple baby nursery scene card in mind, but it morphed into a full blown playroom! 😂   Here's my card.

I love stretching supplies, so when W&W's February Leading Lady Rosali altered a couple of stamps to create a Yeti family, it inspired me to stretch a couple of Christmas sets and have the snowboarding yeti hang up his snowboard for a ride on his rocking horse in his playroom!  Images were stamped with Copic friendly black ink on an A2 X-press It cardstock panel and coloured in with Copics.  I had to do some strategic masking because the yeti's right leg had to be in front while the left leg was behind.  Not only was there masking directly on the stamp, mask modifications (pictured below) were required to achieve this scene.

Had this not been a masking challenge, it would have been easier just to stamp the images separately and hand cut them out.  Anyway, the floor area was masked off next and Minty Mint dye ink was blended on with a Clarity brush through a Ticking Stripe stencil to create the wall.  Masked the wall and the "baseboard", then sponged on Kraft ink for the floor.  The sentiment was black heat embossed with clear glitter embossing powder.

As I mentioned at the beginning of this post, I would have called it done for a simple nursery scene, but thought it looked too empty.  I decided to take it a step further and added a couple of stuffed animals and a tennis ball to create a playroom.  The images were stamped again with Copic friendly black ink on scraps of X-press It cardstock, coloured with Copics then fussy cut out.  Stacked a couple of pierced white rectangle frames from my stash then assembled the card onto a white top folding card base to finish.

I had a lot of fun with this one.  Thank you for stopping by.
