Anya's New Year's Mask-erade Ball!

Happy New Year!!! Please see my first TGF/CA&F post below for detail on today's festivities!!

WELCOME to my challenge hour at the IN WITH THE NEW bash at the new and improved Club Anya and Friends!

ANYA'S NEW YEAR'S MASK-ERADE BALL!

Make a creation, using any mask technique. Regular masking, reverse masking, or alter with masking.

Here's a few tutorials for you.

Technique #1: MASKING TO COMBINE IMAGES

Stamp your image twice. Cut one image out to use as your MASK.



Cut the image along the black lines to get the best results.



Place the cut out image directly over the top of the other stamped image, to MASK it, or in other words cover the image. If you want, you can use some temporary adhesive to hold it in place.

After covering your image with your mask, stamp over it with your second image.



This is what it will look like. Press down evenly to get the image to stamp all the way up to the lines of your first image. If some of the lines don't show up, just use a fine black pen to fill them in.




This is how your image should look so far, once you remove the mask.



Add as many images as you want!





Technique #2: REVERSE MASKING

Stamp your image twice. (I've used two different color cardstocks so you can see better)



Cut out your skirt. (Or, what ever part of the image you want to isolate, to stamp on.)




Place the mask over your image.

Stamp your decorative stamps over the mask.



Here is the result.




Hope you have fun with these techniques!! I am looking forward to all of your creations!! Thanks for playing along with us today!!
