Masking the Moon
I made this card a while back for a One Layer Card Challenge shoe box swap with my peeps at our Prairie Retreat in Mahomet, IL. The challenge came from our Upline, Pam D’Urso. Trust me, one layer was a real challenge for me as I prefer layers and plenty of them. Susan Field, my peep & fabulous road trip buddy, dressed her’s up a bit with ⅛” Taffeta Ribbon. When I put this card in my August Stamp Camp, I used it as a layer and added the Taffeta Ribbon. It was voted as the favorite card of the day.
Don’t forget to use this fabulous stamp (could it be a dandelien) on the inside of your card and envelope. Adds more WOW!
And of course, I sent this card to my good friend Elaine for her birthday so I had to stall once again on the post.
Whether it’s the moon or the sun, I love masking.

Susan’s Convention Swap
My peep Susan Field was kind enough to give my one of her Convention Swaps. The flower embellishment really caught my eye. Was is a brad? Was it a button? No to both. It was a rose made from Stampin' Up's Simply Pressed Clay.
I spent last weekend in Dittmer, MO with some of my peeps so I was able to play with this product. Let me tell you that it was so easy. I added drops ( a few at a time) of Summer Starfruit reinker to a small amount of clay and kneeded it until it was blended. Then a placed a small amount of clay into the mold and placed it in the freezer for 10 minutes. It popped right out of the mold without losing any shape. I then adhered the Basic Pearl to the center and let it air dry overnight.
I can't wait to play with it again. I have another card in mind for clay button. It should be ready just in time for my September Stamp Camp.
