I thought I would never get a card made for this challenge. I made three and threw away two of them. I just had so many mess ups and corrected the problems but still didn't like them so the garbage can is full. Ugh!
The theme this week at CCEE Stampers, challenge #28, is to make a card with reverse masking. I did
both masking and reverse masking. It was fun once I wasn't so frustrated with all my goofs on the first two cards. This challenge came from Lois and she has a great tutorial on Home of Speedy TV for reverse masking.
I'm using a Mark's Finest Papers and Stamps, A Heinrich Co. stamp from the set, Silly Shells and the sentiment is from the same company and a set called Fabulous Dogs.
This card will be good for my brother-in-law as he spends a lot of time in the Gulf of Mexico. I think he will like it. I left it very CAS and masculine by using gray and white paper.

Gorgeous card, Brenda! Love the tranquil scene! I had a day like that yesterday - I filled the trash can with my goof ups! It's been raining here every day now - finally cooling off!
Well, Ms. Goof Up, the final results are spectacular! What a gorgeous masculine card! Your BIL will love it.
Fabulous masculine card! Love the sky you created. Wonderful CAS card :)
Well, I'd say your persistence paid off very well! This card is fabulous! Such a great image with the sail boat! Great job...love it!
I like the clean lines on this handsome card...let's that awesome sailboat take center stage! There are a lot of days that my trash can gets fed well too...lol. Your Hard work paid off...great card!
What a wonderfully serene image, Benzi! Love the contrast between the pastel blues of the sky and the vibrant blues of the water. Must be 3 times IS the charm! This one is magnificent.
I guess it's third time lucky then? This one turned out just great, Brenda, and it's a perfect masculine card, too. I'm sure your BIL will love it.
Thanks for your recent visit to my blog BTW. I've been swamped in work, but I finally managed to create another card. Hopefully things will quiet down a bit (my DH went back to work part time yesterday after staying home for 3+ weeks due to a slipped disk).
Benz,

Oh so LOVELY!!~
This is an awesome creation, regardless of how many failures came first! I've never tried or seen reverse masking, so I'll have to check that out! Your BIL will love this serene nautical card!
