Love this Technique!

It's Monday! Which means that there's another challenge for you at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog.
This week the challenge is to create something with your favorite technique.
My favorite technique isn't fancy. It's masking! Masking is one of the first techniques that we're taught as stampers. It's simple, but allows us so much freedom. Masking allows me to take any image and alter it to fit a space. It's like magic!
Making my own "postage" was a lot of fun!

What's your favorite technique? Link your project to the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge and you could receive a $50 gift voucher to Simon Says Stamp. We draw a new winner each week. Your project could be chosen for our designer spotlight!

If you use instagram add  #sssmchallenge to your challenge entry uploads so we can see them on there too!

    You need to get a hold of the Postal System and let them be their official postage stamp designer! Seriously! I just got a set of stamps that were super-creepy clown heads and I thought to myself, "Really? This is the best we've got?" I think it was a tribute to the circus, but my point is that I was creeped out (no offense to the stamp designers). And then I see your gorgeous postage stamps! In a perfect world, I would have your stamps staring at me from the drawer instead of those psychotic clown eyes! Eeekk!

    Beautiful! Sometimes the tried and true methods are the best, and this is a great reminder to use the masking.
