Create Your Own Designer Paper

Makiko has planned a fun challenge for the Kitchen Sink Crew today. She asked us to take out our Kitchen Sink Stamps and create our own designer paper! Yipee!! This gives me a chance to use one of my favorite techniques: masking!

On each of my cards, I started with the butterflies first, covered them with a mask and then stamped the flowers. I then masked the flowers and added the leaves. On the rose card I also filled in all the blank spaces with "stars" from Friends of the Moon!

I hope you get the chance to play along! Remember to use your Kitchen Sink Stamps to create your own designer paper and then use it to create a card! Three lucky winners will get a chance to do some free shopping in the Kitchen Sink Store!! Once you have created your card, post it on the Kitchen Sink Weblog using Mr. Linky.

One tip about masking! I cut my masks from Post-It Labels which are sticky all over the back and I stick them to the front of the acetate cover of my stamp set so that I can reuse them many times without having to cut more!
