Masking-What is it? How to do it.

Hey Everybody, 

Ardyth's choice for featured stamper is Hannah. The challenge can be found here.

 Here is the card that was my inspiration.

I kept the orientation horizontal but added an additional Hippo. I used a different hippo from the same stamp set. I masked the hippos and put them in a line to perform their ballet. I liked Hannah's use of pink, purple and flowers. So, I added a designer series paper background with flowers and added pink tutus and ballet slippers. The hippo's nails are a light shade of purple, as is the paper behind the image panel. I colored the image with Copic Markers and added clear Wink of Stella to the tutus. I made my card a birthday card and used the sentiment from Sweet Jar.

Have you done masking before? Here's a video I did a while ago to describe what masking is and how to get great results.

Here are some other samples I've done that show the masking technique.

If you have any questions about masking, let me know.

Thank you for stopping by today. 

Blessings,
