I was able to combine challenges again this week for Simon Says Stamp and Show some MASKING, the Compendium of Curiosities Challenge is DISTRESS MISTING MASKS, page 60 of the book and finally the Stampotique Designers Challenge is to use any type of masking technique in your creation.
I decided to use the Giant SHROOM from Stampotique (available from The Stamp Attic) for my card, I love this mushroom and it works great for with masking. I made my own mask using the Mushroom and I used one of Tim Holt's papers to give me a more subtle background rather than white. I also added stitching around one of my mushrooms to give some dimension and added white gel pen around the edges of the others so that they popped off the page a little with the background being quite dark and grungy.
I added buttons in shades of green to give a pop of colour, some Idea-ology, a flower, string and a bird to complete my creation. MUSHROOM was computer generated. Enjoy your day, and thanks for popping by, Tracy x x
