Something as simple as a little Post-It® Note adds lots of depth to your stamping.
Step 1.
Stamp the image you would like to have in the foreground (very front) of the scene on your cardstock.
Step 2.
Stamp the same image on a Post-It Note, making sure that part of the image is on the sticky part of the paper.
I stamped two images, since I have several mushrooms on my cardstock.
Step 3.
Carefully cut the images on the Post-It Note out with your scissors.
Cut right on the line or even slightly inside of it.
Step 4.
Layer your Post-It Note images over those on your cardstock.
Step 5.
Stamp your second image over your mask. This image will appear to be in the background.
Step 6. (Optional)
Once you have finished stamping over one image, remove the mask, place it over the next foreground image and continue to stamp.
Step 7.
Color your image if necessary.
