This is for WT137 to mask. My favorite way to create a frame is by masking off a cirle, oval or square on watercolor paper and creating a little scene in it. I have had Carolyn King's darling little turtle for a while and hadn't had the opportunity to use it yet. I thought he would look cute in a bright and cheerful scene with wasabi and red. I cut a mask with my coluzzle and placed it over a pice of watercolor paper. I stamped the image with Stazon and painted with reinkers. I sponged the area for the ground and sky and then used a thin brush to create some sprigs of grass and my mini fern stamp for texture. You can find Carolyn's stamp line at www.ginakdesigns.com
