My post for today mainly focuses on "masking" stamps which can create layered 3D impressions. Usually I mask my favourite girl " Tilda " with pretty backgrounds and  I call that"Basic Masking "

But today I m attempting a next level of masking which we will call " Extreme masking "

So without any delay lets begin this picture heavy tutorial with few instructions wherever needed :)

 

I am trying to create a floral arrangement using various stamps and believe me u can do a similar thing with stamps in your collection.

 

Step 1: stamp the first image ( the one u want on top) with black ink 

 

Also stamp it on a post it note to create a Mask. Fussy cut the mask very carefully.

 

Step 2: place the mask over this to completely hide it . Now take next stamp u wanna layer behind . Stamp it .

 

Now keep masking and stamping the next images till u r happy with the outcome. 

 

Step 3: at this stage I decided to stamp the pocket watch to complete the arrangement.

 

And here is the result…isn't it pretty?

 

 

Step 4: colouring with copics or other medium ….

 

 

 

 

Guys I am sure u all will give it a try and the results will be mesmerising !!!

I pasted this panel on a canvas which I has covered with paint and paper. I will send it out as a present to a very dear friend of mine...☺️

 

Here is the final pic ...

 

Please feel free to ask any questions about this technique and I will b more than happy to help u  !

All it needs is practice and a collection of few beautiful stamps .

Have a great day !!!
