Monday ~ Day 163 ~ Try a Technique: Masking

Well it is Monday and that means I get to go and spend sometime with my BFF Jeanne and then maybe go to lunch with her twin Judy. After that it is back to getting the stuff ready for the garage sale. I didn't realize I had so much junk (hmm I mean stuff).

The challenge today over at 365 Cards was to use masking on your card. Well I need to admit that I am a masking Virgin. Yep, you heard me right a virgin. I have never used a mask in my stamping and after today it might be something I try again. My card isn't perfect I missed a couple places and I tried coloring with a water brush and some Adirondack acrylic ink refill.
Hope you all enjoy your day and I will be back tomorrow.
Enjoy~

    Well for a virgin you sure look experienced...geez I crack myself up!! It looks great Sherry and I love to mask and with practise we just get better and better at it and you can create all sorts of images/scenes. The colour you chose to colour is a gorgeous shade.

    Woo! Great job!! I've never tried this technique either - But now that your masking cherry has been popped and you succeeded so beautifully, I'm more eager to try it out!
