Lets Get Hoping

Lets Get Hopping Round #12

Do you have a favourite technique? Is it something that you turn to time and time again or is it a technique you like to use on those extra special projects?

This month is about our favourite technique and I do turn to masking so much as I love the way you can add two or three stamps set to make a card and it can look like a painting.

So what is masking?
 Its when you stamp out and image first on your card and also onto some Posty notes.

Cut out Posty Note and place over the image as I have with the ute.

Then you can build up the background behind your image
I have used sponging, and the water from the High Tide
Stamp set plus I punch out a circle from a Posty Note and
Place on my pitcher where I wonted it, Sponging over the
Posty Note first then removing and adding some colour
and the birds from the High Tide Stamp set. 

I Used a Aqua painter and inks to paint my Ute added some
more birds and also sponge and used Aqua painter for ground

Added it to a black card to make the image  pop.

Happy Stamping Teresa
