Happy Saturday! It's time for another Just Us Girls challenge, and this week I'm the hostess! I chose the masking techinque. There are a variety of ways to used the masking technique, so it should be fun seeing what everyone creates.
I used a basic masking technique on my card. The stamp set I used was Up, Up & Away by Papertrey Ink. I thought these hot air balloons would be a good choice for masking. When you do this technique, you have the tendency to want to stamp what's in the background first, but that is just the opposite of what you do. I stamped the big red balloon first, then masked it and stamped the blue balloon and masked it. (I used Eclipse Masking paper, but you can use Post It notes or typing paper with removable adhesive.) Next, I stamped the green balloon and masked that. Finally, with all masks on, I stamped the clouds and baskets of the balloons. It is a very easy technique to accomplish, but you really have to think about the process before you actually start stamping!
