SPOTLIGHT ON MASKING-
message from jack
Its my turn to set the challenge this fortnight and I'd like to see you using masking - This can be using a bought mask (or stencil), making your own, stamping your main image and masking over it before you do your background, using torn paper as a mask, but NOT a picture of a mask. I'd also like a short explanation of how you used your mask.

here is my contribution

to make this card i used a dreamweaver stencil with paste and a few die cuts the masking part of the design was made with distressed ink worn lipstick and a crafters workshop 6x6 plastic template used a dabber to ink it up added a piece of ribbon and thats that.
come and join us at crafty cardmakers and have a play with masking it's a great technique so give it a go
the link for the blog is on the lhs of my blog as i still can't seem to do links on this blog
