Layers of Beauty Anniversary Card (for CSF 820)

Hello again! It’s time for another Create with Stamping Friends challenge, this week a color challenge. I find the color challenges just a bit more difficult, simply because there are so many options that you can choose. I chose a Layers of Beauty anniversary card. Come take a look! Here’s the challenge board:

Last time I used this set, I tried the Decorative Masks that come with the bundle, and brushed on the color. See that card HERE. This time I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used my Blends to color it in. You definitely get a lot for your money with this bundle ~ stamps, dies, and masks (stencils). Here’s a look again at the bundle:
