A couple side shots of the Front Panel Stair-step design – more on this style card on these posts, HERE and HERE.

I inked up the Stone Wall stamp and wiped away the butterflies, flower and grass, stamped it, inked it up again and wiped away then stamped with the stamp a ma jig to position them right the two images tight up against each other. All I had to do was draw in a few lines then…I stamped a light dot pattern from Printworks with Pumice Stone Distress ink after I colored the wall with warm gray copics. The background sky is Chipped Sapphire Distress ink applied with the Tim Holtz ink blending tool on a craft sheet. A few light spritzes with H2O and some teeny snowflakes and fine glass glitter from the Art Glittering System. The snow on the trees is a Snow Marker from Marvy and a little fine glass glitter again. The chipboard Christmas pieces are from K & Co. Brenda Walton Evergreen Icons. The border piece inside is from K & Co. Elizabeth Brownd Visions of Christmas border pack.

I’m posting a card I made with CC Designs Sugarplums Take A Seat kit. I also made a tutorial for masking with it, so I’ll post it today too!

Here’s Sunflower Emma sitting on the wagon from the kit…Emma says pink is a great Fall color! lol

Here’s the tutorial for masking Emma sitting on the wagon…

Masking an image to create a scene…

#1 – I start out by stamping my focal image on my card-stock and again on a piece of eclipse tape (thin paper with post it note type adhesive on the back side). The eclipse tape image will be my mask.

#2 – I cut out the bottom part of my focal image, cutting inside the stamped line on the eclipse tape. I like to pretty much cut the black line away so I don’t have a halo around the image after I’m done.

#1 #2

#3 – I’ve placed my mask over the stamped image on my card-stock, making sure to keep the mask inside the stamped lines of the main image stamped on the card-stock.

#4 – I have an old Stamp a ma jig! They are an aqua color now but both work exactly the same! Here I’ve placed the imaging sheet on my work surface and aligned the “jig” up against the bottom corner of the imaging sheet. Ink up the stamp and bring it into the corner of the “jig”, making sure nothing moves… very easy! You can touch the “jig” with your stamp/block and then go down to stamp. This leaves a stamped image on the imaging sheet.

#3 #4

#5 – Remove the stamp/block and see the image.

#6 – Move the “jig” away and pick up the imaging sheet and place it over your masked image on the card-stock. You will be able to see where you want to place the wagon in this case for Emma to sit on. Line it up, just how you want it.
