Challenge Title: Get Your Mask On! Hostess: TexasGrammy = Bev Keyword: FF17TexasGrammy Date: Oct. 10, 2017
Surely you've heard the news?! Fall is fully upon us, here in the USA! It’s time for warm colors, raking piles of leaves, Friday night high school football, shifting food focus in cooking, adding sleeves & maybe layers (depending on one’s distance from the equator), and … the approaching Fall holidays! Halloween is on the way at the end of the month. Have your planned the kids’ costumes? (Or the adult ones?) Looking forward to a costume gathering for kids or grown-ups?
>>> My challenge is to use masking as you create your cards. If you’ve always used one particular style of asking, s.t.r.e.t.c.h to try a new-to-you method of masking! Whichever style of making you choose, I challenge you to

Bunches of big Thank You's to my fabby team of Masked Sample Makers! Hi Oh Silver!!!
Bev, masking is one of the most valuable techniques when one wants to give depth to a scene without adding layers. It is also great for protecting parts of design when adding a sponged bg, etc. Thanks.
Had fun with the die cut stencil technique, thank you for the inspiration! I used a dragonfly die and sponged my sky around my stencil, adding a fussy cut double stamped rose and washi tape borders on 3 sides. Here's FF17TexasGrammy Dragonfly Friends

First time inking up this new stamp set and I'm super happy with the way it turned out. Thanks for the challenge. It helped me decide what I was going to try with it.
I'm finally home from the crazy-busiest day of my week ... Just now turning on the laptop for the first time today, and am ready to go tiptoe through the gallery! I'm so tickled to see that you've been playing & creating without anyone here cheering you on, cracking the stampy whip, or passing out snacks & favorite Fall beverages!
well, I really did try something new... I bought fluid masking stuff in a bottle ( a year ago or more) and finally opened it. I think I will be doing more of this with detailed stamps soon Thanks Bev!
I tried masking a whole scene--lots of thinking! Definitely not a card to mass produce! We went to Alaska with friends last year and visited a sled dog kennel. It was fascinating and this card makes me think of that great experience! The mountains there were just awesome as well!
Thanks Bev for the fun challenge!!! I have only masked images a few times, I do things like masking a moon and sponging but masking images is not something I do very often (like maybe 3 times in 6 years!). The result is stunning, so maybe I will use it more often in the future!! So glad I played with the technique!!
Well Miss Bev---you certainly picked out something I had no idea how to do. The only masking I have ever done has been torn paper to create hills and such and layers when brayering. So I betook meself over to the tutorials and read up on the strange and mysterious beast called masking. Huh----looks like some seriously fun things to do.....so in my head I have an idea...too tired and too late tonight to try it out....so will pop out of bed at my usual 6 am and taketh my self to the Room of Chaos to see what I can do.....Film at 11! LOL!

I'm happy that you're giving thought to a bit of stampy s.t.r.e.t.c.h! Remember ... we all had a first on everything we've tried and it's ALL always good! Stamp on, m'lady!
I have previously masked parts of images, but this time I used some Washi tape for straight edges for a couple of banners. Thanks for pushing me to use a new technique.
Wow, m'friends! You're really taking on the s.t.r.e.t.c.h in your creative ways to mask! Take a peek through this gallery to explore the many different ways everyone is exploring these techniques!!
I like masking and also if i�m not quite happy with my card, i enter it anyway. I�ve took to thick paper for my mask next time i have to think about it.
