How do I mask thee? Let me count the ways...
Hey! You must have been at Lisa's awesome blog - it's hard to have to follow her - before this. You are darned near the end of the blog hop, My Friend!
Th1s was a hard challenge . . . ain't gonna lie. I'm not very good at coloring hair using Copic markers, doing anything with flower shapes, an/or making CAS (clean and simple) cards. So, the following cards are presented with the best one first. I wouldn't be hurt if you just skipped over the other two and went right for Wendy's blog. Seriously. Ugh.
This is the card that came closest to meeting the challenge requirements. I stamped, colored, and sponged the main image, from the "Big Top" set, then used a circle punch to cut circles out of post-it notes. Then I wasted a whole lot of Distress Oxide ink getting to the colors I wanted in the background. All in all, I love it and think I'll send it in to a magazine to see if I can get published.

This was my first attempt to make a CAS card for the challenge. I stamped a background for the sentiment using the back of a stamp, then added the sentiment. I added some glossy ink to the word "life" and on the stars to help them stand out more. I flicked ink onto the paper to make it look like confetti. Meh.
Second attempt, again using stamps from "Big Top." I finally have the masking thing figured out. Sadly, I stamped the ticket upside down. That would be OK if I had maybe a couple of coins to stamp on there to make it look as someone emptied out their pockets after going to the circus. But . . . no.
Well, that's it for me. Hop right on over to Wendy's blog to finish the hardest challenge EVER! Or head back to Club Scrap to check out the goodies in the store! Thanks for dropping by!
