More fun with masking!!

 I have been having more fun with the masking technique demonstrated by Shari on the Hero Arts blog.  This time I have used a Spellbinder Nestability shape to create my mask.

I stamped and then distressed the Music Background with Victorian Velvet, one of my favourite new colours from Tim Holtz!  Next I stamped the silhouette corner using an Adirondack pad in Pesto, I also stamped the butterfly using the same pesto colour.   I made a mask for the butterfly and then coloured with Broken China ink, adding a little yellow to the edges and some white dots.






















The current Hero Arts challenge is also to decorate the inside of the card so I have added a butterfly in the same way.

Here is another card for the current challenge, this time using the masking technique and this was also inspired by the cover of the new Hero Arts catalogue.  Not sure if I really like this card, it didn't really turn out how I envisaged it, never mind I will enter it anyway.
Hope you are all having a relaxing weekend, I have two ill children at the moment, both Francesca and Tristan seem to have this flu bug thats going round.  I am trying to nurse them and I'm dosing myself up in the hope that I don't catch it as well!!
