Masking & Masking

Hello Everyone!
Всем привет!

Today I am sharing two cards made with different techniques. The first one is for International Women's Day which is National Holiday in Russia and basically substitutes Mother's Day and even I would say St. Valentine's Day. Because every girl and woman will receive a lot of flowers at school, office or home. The sentiment in Russian says: "Happy 8th March".
Сегодня я показываю две открытки, выполненные в разных техниках:
Firstly, I heat embossed the sentiment in gold, them masked off the sentiment and edges of the card and sponged Distress Inks through a stencil. Before removing the stencil, I sprayed the card with gold to add a soft shimmer.
Для первой открытки я использовала маски и трафарет, через который нанесла дистресс чернила и золотой спрей.
I am submitting this card to:
Эту открытку я подаю в следующие конкурсы:
- One-Layer Simplicity Challenge #13, where the theme is You Blend!
где тема смешивание. 

Addicted to CAS #57, with a cue word MASK
где ключевое слово - Маска
- and to CASology #134, with a cue word MONOCHROME
где ключевое слово - Одноцветное
- and to The Mixed Media Monthly Challenge #9, where the theme is THINK PINK
где ключевое слово - Розовое

The second card is all about stamping and tags:
Моя вторая открытка, выполнена в простой технике оттисков, и опять немного масок:
Greeting Card with Painted Poppies from Altenew by Sweet Kobylkin

I am entering this card to Tag You're It! #15 challenge, where inspiration comes from a card of Donna Mikasa. I started with stamping poppies on a piece of Soft Stone PTI CS. To follow the suggested colour combo I added dots with a thin brush. Then I die cut a tag and stamped the sentiment, then masked it off and stamped a poppy. To finish I heat embossed the center of the poppy in black, and attached the tag to the card using foam pads.
Эту открытку я подаю в конкурс Tag You're It! #15, где для вдохновения предложили открытку Донны Микасы. Чтобы соблюсти цветовую гамму, я напечатала маки на сером кардстоке и нанесла тонкой кистью точки. На вырубленном ярлыке сделала оттиск надписи, затем замаскировала её и отпечала мак. В завершение сделала горячее тиснение черным тычинок мака. Ярлык посадила на вспененных скотч.

Thanks for visiting! I wish you a nice start of the week!
Спасибо, что заглянули. Желаю, легкого начала недели!
