This months Blog Hop we are each doing a different technique. I have chosen one of my favorite MASKING. I was having creative block on how to show this the best possible way then remembered a lovely workshop we had years ago called Bella! So with using the stamps that complemented Bella I came up with this card. Super SIMPLE! The key is to be sure to cut close enough to the  second stamped image (ie on a posted note) so when you place over the original stamp it looks as though it was stamped first. MAGIC! 

Every time I teach this in my class everyone is thrilled with the look! Hope you enjoy.

Using the My Creations Bracket Frame with the Chantilly paper pack I created this gift for the newest member of the Peyton Clan! CONGRATS Tom and Nat. This will hopefully make the long journey to them in New Zealand in one piece. Using the my trusted Cricut with the Art Philosophy I cut the over all dimension of the frame. Then using thing Artiste cartridge I made the 3D flowers. The banner is using the Pennant Alphabet E1018 and for the bling (everything looks best with BLING) Sparkle Flourishes Z1708 and the clear flowers were from the Claire Assortment Z1813 LOVE THESE!
