Hi and welcome to my blog that is featuring the tutorial for the Design Team project from #stampinforall. The theme was masking. Click here to go to the group.
I had seen this type of masked background before and really wanted to give it a try. I didn't watch any tutorials I just got stuck in and had a go myself!

Stamp sets used
I used my most loved stamp set 'Butterfly Basics' for the focal point of this card. I used the masking technique to get the fern leaf behind the flower. I have done this many times so already had the flower fussy cut.
#toptip - keep your masks with the stamp sets to use again and again!
For the back ground I used 'Sheet Music'
I love this stamp and have used it on lots of cards, but never like this.
How I created the background
- Video tutorial link is below, this is quite hard to explain by writing down!
- I used lots of scraps of cardstock that really were destined for the bin!
- Washy tape
- I taped the scrap down on my base exposing a section I wanted to ink
- I stamped the music
- BEFORE removing the mask I got a sponge and distress inked the edges of what I had just stamped
- I then covered this image up with another scrap and taped it down
- I then moved the the original scrap to mask off another section I wanted to stamp
- I needed to add quite a few scraps as I created more stamped sections
- I kept going until the whole of the back ground was covered
- I used Crumb Cake on Very Vanilla for this card
Stamping image
- I stamped the image of the flower in Chocolate Chip
- I them placed the mask of the flower over it and stamped the fern leaf in Mossy Meadow
- I stamped the stripe and post mark in Blackberry Bliss
- I am so glad to see these two colours back
- I added the honeycomb image as well in Smokey Slate
- I stamped the sentiment on Blackberry Bliss and added some fern around it in Mossy Meadow and some honeycomb in Smokey Slate around the sentiment
- I used the Pretty Label Punch to cut it out
- I wrapped some Linen Thread around the card
- Distressed a doily with Crumb Cake and ripped if to add interest behind the sentiment
- This was then mounted not a Chocolate Chip card blank
- I added a Very Vanilla mat to the inside which I distressed with Crumb Cake around the edges and stamped the fern leaf on as well
