Entries for Technique Inspired Challenge 3

For Technique Inspired Challenge 3, the challenge was to do some masking on our layouts / projects!

Here are the entries i received for this challenge... This month we received 2 layouts from June! =)

"Quiet Moment" by June

Description:
I don't have the watermark resist ink (yet!) so I used 2 paper dollies as mask and silver maya road mist.

Close up of the masked area: I think i used the big dolly mask then the small dolly in the same location.

Feli says:
Love the masking effect and how it gives a subtle effect on the background which goes with the quiet moment photo. Great layering of masking!

"love" by June

Description:
I've tried stamping with my glimmer mist using the mask.

Feli says:

I love the technique she used! What a cool effect created on the layout.

Here's my take on my own Technique Inspired Challenge 3. i did some layering of masking on the background chipboard...
As I didn't want to cover the chipboard I masked with photos, I decided to place an overlay above it for the photos and embellishments.
Included the masked butterfly I showed in the Technique Inspired Challenge blog entry...
Here's the masked layering I did... Did one layer of masking before the 2nd layer of masking of butterfly. Then I added glossy accent and stickles for texture.

Added some mini chipboard butterflies which i stickled...
Hope you like it and will try out the challenge! A yummy RAK awaits you!

Technique Inspired Challenge 3 - It's Masking Time!

Here's the Technique Inspired challenge 3. Here's the technique to inspire you... Let's do some masking on our layouts / projects! You can either do the usual way of masking or do masking with stamps! The challenge is to use this technique to inspire you to create a layout/project...

Here's a simple method of doing masking with stamps...
First, stamp on the surface using a Watermark Resist ink pad or Clear ink pad.
Next, just add glossy accent to the surface you have stamped. Wait for it to dry.
Add glimmer mist to the surface and remove the excess glimmer mist. Then you are done! You've just created a masked image using stamps! :) (Click on the image to get a closer look)

A cute page to document! And what a cool effect the glimmer mist created on the background...

"mood swings" by Vivi

Feli says:

Love the shapes created by the glimmer mist on the background! These are such fun photos! :)

"Lady" by Georgina

Description:
I thought and thought about this challenge for weeks. I kept thinking of the Teddy Bear's beautiful gorgeous eye lashes and it brought the idea of feathers. Some models use pretty feathers to decorate their eyelashes on the runway and so the feathers in my layout at the bottom of the photo.

Feli says:
Such a gorgeous layout! I love how the graphic inspired her to use feathers! I especially love the feel of the layout and the colours.. awesome!

Love is Everything...

Here's my take on the Graphic Inspired Challenge 3... I was inspired by the composition of the image so I made my page flow the same way...
I used Magistical Memories Winter Solstice Open Add-on chipboard as a matt for the photo.. Added some buttons to embellish the chipboard and photo... Yeah! I can submit this for Pile It On Challenge 4! =)

The chipboard was dabbered on and inked to create texture...

Did some stamping and embellishing with flowers, robin's nest dewdrops and American Crafts adhesive badges..

My mum knitted this flower for me.. =) I'm loving the white space!
