Hello everyone!!  I’m here with a2z Scrapbooking today with our February Challenge!!!

  Our new challenge is all about Masking!!!!!

Check out the card I created for this challenge:

First let me tell you that my daughter, really had me dying with laughter.  She said, “Mom, why did you color the watermelons orange”?  I said, “because they are oranges”.  Then she said, “Mom those aren’t oranges, they are watermelons.  Look at the seeds and the rim”. I had to laugh!!  So yes, they are watermelons that I turned into oranges.

In any case, all I did was:

1. Stamp the two fruit on some masking paper then cut them out by hand.
2. I stamped the apple first, then covered it with the masking paper then stamped the orange on both sides.
3. Then I removed the masked and covered the right orange, with its mask, then stamped the last apple.
4. Some of the fruit are in front and some are in the back.  That is what masking does.  It prevents you from having lines in the images.
5. Then I colored them with Copic Markers E27, G07, R46 and YR68.
6. After that I stamped the sentiment and added some gems.

Easy peasy!!
