Welcome to our Spring Virtual StampNight! (VSN) Our theme is April Fools, and that made me think of an April Fool jokes that I was part of in the past. When I worked we played a great one on our boss. We covered the bosses office with Post It notes! Quite a surprise for the boss on April Fools Day! It was funny, and fun, too. Luckily our boss had a good sense of humor!
So, remembering that is how I came up with this technique challenge! Masking, (with Post it notes). Masking is a great way to create a scene on your card. Basically, you stamp your image on your CS, then stamp it again on a Post It note or scrap of paper, or a special paper that will stick or not move. You fussy cut the image and put it over or �mask� your stamped image on your CS. Then you can stamp other things over that and they will look like they are in back of the first image. This is one of the first techniques I ever learned.
Here is a tutorial right here on SCS:Masking: Basic
1. ALL VSN CREATIONS MUST BE UPLOADED BY 10 P. M. EST ON Sunday, April 9.
2. You have 1 hour to complete the challenge, unless otherwise noted.....you do not have to count prep time!
3. We have a special gallery for the April Fool's VSN.
a) From the "Main Gallery" dropdown list on the first page of the uploader, choose Events and Special Collections.
b) From the Sub-gallery dropdown list, choose Virtual Stamping and Scrapbooking Nights ~ it's the last in the list.
c) From the new sub-gallery dropdown list choose April Fool's - it's the very top of the list.
4. Please remember to put in the correct keyword when uploading your image. Copying and pasting the challenge keyword is recommended to avoid typos.
5. Please do not combine VSN challenges...but you may combine any other challenges with a VSN challenge!
It is also highly recommended that you post a link to your creation in this chat thread to be sure your layout is seen. THANKS SO MUCH FOR PLAYING ALONG!!!
Oh, Kathy, I am so sorry for your catastrophe! I hope none of your craft stuff got ruined. On the other hand, you do have a week to do the challenge. I hope you get to do the challenge. Thanks for checking in.
I combined the masking challenge with Kim's shaving cream one.....I know I won't have the time to do all the challenges this go round. I don't do masking very often but this card called for it so I was happy that you had this as your challenge Sharon! Thanks :p
This was hard but I had wanted to try it for a long while, watched Dina's video before. Didn't have the Frog tape so I used masking tape, upside down on the big die over the letter and held it in place with washi so I could slide it into the big shot. A bit awkward but I like how it turned out. APRVSN17D Rejoice JAI by AnniePanda - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers
