Another FUN Challenge!!

...My most favorite stamps lately have been Magnolia Stamps and I have truly fallen in LOVE with some of the newest images, yet I still enjoy using some of the older images too.  This card is a card I created using a "Masking" technique.   It will be submitted to Magnolia Down Under for "Challenge  42 Masking"today.




   I have also submitted this card for the "Create A Scene" challenge over at Magnolia Stamp Lovers.  I created a mask of the "Fence" and the "Butterfly Floral" images in the background, behind the lovely Miss Tilda.  It was a fun card to make and I hope to try more, using the Masking Method.

    If you have never tried masking, you can find a fun tutorial by Stephanie Barnard, over on You Tube - simply Click Here !!  Another good one you can find HERE, by Jennifer McGuire, one of my favorite stampers!!
     
  Hope you try it and HAVE FUN!!!
     

    And on a very personal note, I want to say how much I wish my infant daughter "Kristyn Alyssa", was here with me today.  On this day she would have turned 19.   April 19th, will always be a very  bittersweet day to me.   The day I lost my only daughter...one of the greatest heart aches of my life.  She will always be in my heart and my 'forever" infant daughter in heaven.  My Baby Girl Angel!

A Little About Me

My photo
Northeastern, Massachusetts, United States
Purple is my favorite color and ironically - Purple is the Awareness Ribbon color for Fibromyalgia, a chronic illness I lived with for over 18 years. In, March of 2015, I was diagnosed with Stage IV Lung Cancer which had spread to my brain. I am fighting hard to win this battle and determined to beat it. I have a amazing Oncology Team, along with the LOVE and SUPPORT of all my family and friends! I am a Mom to two grown sons, Alex is now 25 and married to Acacia, my wonderful new "Daughter" and the parents to my precious Grand-Daughter Harper, and Brian amazingly is 30 and now lives in San Diego. My boys are the greatest loves of my life. Hubby, me and our two "Pups", Skye and Zeva, two adorable Chiweenies we rescued in 2012, all live very happily in a tiny coastal town in Massachusetts. We lost our dear "Scoutie", a Purebred Dachshund, in April of 2015. I still miss him and will forever cherish his memory. I am an avid card-maker and totally love every minute I can spend in my craft room. It's become my passion, a wonderful way to relax and is my form or "therapy".
