I combined today's two challenges into a simple one-layer card. The CAS was a sketch by mom2n2(Debbie) with 3 layers at the bottom. The TLC was to use reverse masking....I hope my edging counts. I first adhered a strip of Eclipse tape(love that stuff) to computer paper. I then punched out the border with the MS edge punch. I peeled the cut Eclipse tape from the backing paper and had my "mask". I used it 3 times to make the bottom bands using a sponge dauber, different colored ink pads and wide painter's masking tape to protect areas that I did not want colored.

What a fun way to do this sketch! Great job. Love the idea to mask the border.

Sallie, this is such a GREAT one layer card; love the effect of the masking. I really thought that was dp! and I love the look of the pretty black greeting over the silhouette image.
