Kim Franz started a blog called Technique Thursday.
Logically enough, Kim publishes a technique to try each Thursday. Well this past Thursday the technique was "masking".
I love masking! My favorite way to stamp is to take smaller images and put them together to make pictures. So I just had to participate in this one!.
Here are my two attempts. The first is a "bird bath party" made with all justjohanna stamps.
The second is one of my favorite stamp sets from The Angel Company. I love all the different pieces that you can put together. And I really am a sucker for fall!
My tips for masking:
I love Eclipse paper. Its like thin post it paper with sticky over the entire back. It works great and I can save my masks to use over and over. I just keep them in the case with the stamps.
My other tip - sometimes I mask the stamp instead of the paper! If I only want part of an image or sentiment, I put painters tape over the part I don't want, ink the entire thing and then rip the painters tape off before I stamp. This is easier for me than trying to ink around images I don't want, especially if they are close together.
