The New Pixie Cottage Design Team!

Hello! I thought I should drop by and let everyone know, we have finalized the plans for our new design team.  First of all, I want to thank everyone for applying, I emailed everyone who emailed me with their information as instructed, and let you know of the results. If you just applied by posting here on the blog and did not email me, I did not have an email to send a personal response too, and I apologize but it would have been just too much work to track everyones email down from each of their blogs.

So without further ado, here is our design team for the next 6 months!

Tutorial Time - Masking with Renata

Today something different, I am gonna tell you how to
mask images. What you need: Acrylic block, 2 Stamps
Ink
Stamp-a-mag-jig
Paper

First you stamp the image
that will be in the front, in this case my Magnoliagirl.

Then you
stamp the girl again on a piece of paper (or a Post It Note) and cut this out. You put this on the first image with tape, where the second stamp won't touch it.

Then you
take the second stamp, in my case that's Stump
& Bench from The Pixie Cottage. Put your sheet in the corner of the
Stamp-a-mag-jig and let your stamp glide down in this corner and stamp it on
your sheet.

Put your sheet on the
Magnolia-image just like it should be. Tape your paper to the table so it won't
move while stamping.

Take the sheet away and stamp the
stump & bench on the sitting Tilda.

Take the extra image away
and Voila! Tilda is on the bench! You can mask any image you want like this.

I hope you liked it and know
now how to mask images.
If you have any questions you can mail
me.
