ICS Blog Hop Technique Time

It's the first Wednesday of the month and you know what that means right?  Inspire, Create and Share Blog Hop!   I am super excited about our theme this month we all know it's back to school time which means a time to learn....so we thought we'd share some fun techniques so all our stampin' friends could hopefully learn something new this month too!  Enjoy!

I choose the Masking Technique which is one I really should do more often it opens you up for some very creative stamping!  My card is pretty simple, you can really get a lot of different layering and dimension from masking!  

 
I started by stamping the little Eskimo image in the middle, then I stamped her again on a post it note and laid that over her.  Then I stamped the Eskimo's on either side leaving the post it note mask on the center Eskimo!  Cute and easy.

Once you've made a mask I recommend storing it in your stamp case so you can use it again and again!  

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  Cookie-Cutter Christmas
