Gosh the weekend's aren't long enough and for some reason I seem to have lost my mojo. This card has taken me two days to finish, yikes!! This is my first attempt at masking a rubbersstamp with a digi image. The digital Fairy House is from Make It Crafty and the current challenge is to "make a scene". There are some fab tutorials on their site so would recommend you popping over. Here's the finished result:-
I used the gorgeous fairy from Lili of the Valley, just love their stamps, with the Fairy House from Make It Crafty and coloured the images using my favourite medium, Copics. The task of making wasn't without a few teething problems, lol. I followed the tutorial for Word and first stamped the Lili of the Valley stamp onto my Cryogen cardstock and then measured according to the tutorial. I then printed it out on paper first to check it was all in the right place before putting the cryogen through the printer. My first problem is that everyone seems to be out of stock of the eclipse masking paper so I had to use a post it note. Whilst trying to roll my repositional tape on the back of the post it note due to several places being rather thin, i.e the wand, neck, wings etc. it tended to rip so my mask was in about 4 pieces in the end., but it did hold up. But I wasn't giving up so easily. My next problem was when I put my cryogen through the printer I forgot to change the size as the cryogen is shorted in length than A4 so my measuring was all out and I had to start again, grrrrrrrrrrrr. So I can guess, you can see why this card took me two days!
Because the image was quite large I had to cut it out, again alot of tricky areas but my fiskars finger knife came in very handy, and overall I'm happy with the result.
I have entered this labour of love into the following challenges:-
Make It Crafty - Create a scene
Lili of the Valley - Sketch
ABC Challenge - D for Distressing
Sundays with Crissy - Sparkly and Shiny
Sir Stamp Alot - Distressing

OMG! This is gorgeous, well worth all the trouble, wow!
Wow Tracy. I am so happy you persevered because this is absolutely stunning. The fairy works perfectly with the fairy house and I can't believe you cut around all that detail! I love how it looks like she is smelling the flowers and your colouring is outstanding. To top it off the way you positioned the flowers onto the card makes it look as though they are part of the garden.
Regarding the eclipse masking paper. Since making that video I have since learned they are no longer making it! I have managed to achieve the same results using Mask-It film but when stamping onto the film you need to use Staz-On ink or it wont dry, then you need to pull it off carefully as the ink from the printer beads on the surface and can smudge. However I have also recently learned that Inkadinkadoo have come out with a masking paper. I haven't tried it yet but it seems the same. http://www.eksuccessbrands.com/Inkadinkado/Products/Stamping_Mask_Paper_62-01022.htm
