Stampotique Designers Challenge - Masking

Masking seems to be popular at the start of the year, have seen it on a couple of challenges, did one for the Tims Compendium challenge, so wanted to try a different method for this one, so used the masking stamps effect, had to use post-its sellotaped together, couldn't find where I've filed away my masking sheets, expect I shall find them tomorrow when its too late, typical, LOL.

So masked two stampotique characters so I could swap heads, then covered them up added a base DI to the backgound and then stamped through a mask with different colour DIs.  Made a background paper, using an old book page, sprayed Glimmer mist all over then used same mask to add contrasting colour, highlighted circles using black and white pens, then punched flowers using Uncle Tim's fab die .  Hope you enjoy, I love the paper I've made really vibrant, might have to try and make up another batch for another time.

two photos one with flash and one without, flash shows up some to the lovely shimmers and vibrancy of the colours, whilst non flash shows a bit more of the details.
