Masking ~ Train Scene

I'm slightly addicted to masking!

It really opens up more creative options.

Today I'll show my combination of two Tim Holtz stamps.

 

Example #1:

 

 

First I stamped the street lamp.

Next I used my own lamp mask (stamped & handcut),

covered the lamp & stamped the train right over it.

 

But I have to say the glitter train steam

is what really makes this card cool.

 

 

Example #2:

 

 

Just like the card, I stamped - masked - stamped.

Notice the small gap around the street lamp

where the stamp didn't quite make contact?

I just fill that in with a black gel pen,

essentially sketching in to fill the void.

 

 

Using my Distress Inks, Copic markers & more masking:

The train scene came to life!

 

Here are my masks, I'll be saving them for more projects!

 

 

This was a challenging project, but fun indeed.

I put the train in my 4 year old son's room.

He just loves trains.

 

 

 

I use this chicken wire frame to clip up photos, art & mementos

in his room.  It's a fun way to keep changing the look.
