Secret Crafter Challenge - Masking

Today is very dull and dreary and then the next minute the sun is streaming in the windows. I am absolutely freezing today hope it's better where you are. Masking is the theme this week over on Secret Crafter Masking has to be favourite technique when stamping. I have also masked the clouds today too using my sparkly chalks not done this in ages love it. I have used my Emmy stamp, tree stamp and puppy Sal. Water coloured using my Lyra crayons and stamped with versafine on normal card stock nothing fancy. The scalloped card is from Craftwork cards. Why not join in the challenge yourself this week, if you haven't tried masking before then Bev has posted a fab tutorial for you to follow. It's fun however very addictive as you can create the most fabulous scenes. Hope you are enjoying your weekend. Thanks for dropping by, toodles.
