Challenge 15 - Masking!

Good Morning!

I know I don't usually update the blog this early but the time I usually update it I have a meeting so I thought I'd rather do it earlier than later! lol

I hope you all enjoyed last weeks theme, there were lots of fantastic entries, we enjoyed viewing them all! Unfortunately though there can indeed be only one winner of our Guest DT Member space and that is *drumroll please* ....

TANJA

CHALLENGE 15 - MASKING!

Now onto this weeks challenge, you might not have heard of this technique before but trust me it is a LOT simpler than it looks and if you have never tried it before then this is your moment! Believe me I was so apprehensive towards this a few months ago but once I tried it I just love it.

Masking is where you combine 2 seperate stamps together to create the illusion that they are infact one.

To make it even easier for you all there is a

step - by - step Tutorial

I have created for you RIGHT HERE.

So you have no excuses now not to join! lol

If you don't I will be very unhappy :( lol

The prize we have for you this week is a gorgeous collection of Embellishments donated by our sponsor Create & Celebrate!

Now here is a look at our DT Work, even some of our team hadn't tried this technique before!
