Hello, Thinking of You My Friend

Hi Artsy Friend,

It’s time to play along with Happy Little Stampers Stencil Challenge again. The May Challenge Theme is once again Anything Goes.      

No matter if your project is CAS, Mixed Media, Tag, Art Journal…, as long as it involves stencils, you’re welcomed to join. For Challenge Rules and other DT’s inspirations, please check out the Challenge Blog. The Theme has endless possibilities and I can’t wait to see what you will come up with. 

This month I challenged myself to revisit using diecut as stencil/mask technique. This is the Day 4’s homework of Altenew Academy Creative Masking Technique online class. I love rainbow color scheme. Hope this card is eye-pleasing to you. Thanks for stopping by and wish you a great day ahead.

Happy Mother’s Day – Creative Masking

Hi Artsy Friends, 

Masking is one of the old-school techniques that I learned in my early stage of card-making journey. I must say it’s not my favorite because I don’t enjoy making masks which normally involves fussy cutting. Nowadays, with the help of some ready-made masks which coordinate with stamp images, I am glad to revisit it. This card is primarily inspired by Altenew Academy Creative Masking Techniques online class. Hope it’s eye-pleasing to you. Thanks for stopping by.

All stamps, masks and embossing folder is by Altenew.
