Masking Technique and Cutting The Stamps

Trim a blue coloured cardstock in a size a bit smaller than the white coloured cardstock base.
Cut two panels from Green cardstock in a "hill" pattern free hand, like I did, or with a die.
Stamp the sides of the green cardstock with the stitched line stamp from the Meraki stamp set and also stamp the sentiment, "I Love You" from the Giraffe love stamp set using Ranger Black Archival ink pad.
Heat emboss the "I love you" sentiment with clear embossing powder to give it that glossy finish. As the ink is wet, the powder will stick to it and will give an embossed look.

Stamp the giraffe image from the Giraffe Love stamp set using Ranger Black Archival ink, on a white cardstock, 300 GSM.
I wanted the giraffe to hold the wooden plank. So I fussy cut the image on Sticky notes/masking sheet and stamped the wooden plank image on top of the masked image.
When you have stamped the wooden plank, remove the masking sheet and you will see how wonderfully the overall image appears.
I love this masking technique as it gives a natural look to the stamped images.

I cut the "Flooded in love" sentiment with scissors in order to fit in on the wooden plank.... Isn't that a lovely trick! :D
You can use this trick for other stamps also and use these cut stamps to mix and match with other stamps.

Stamp the other image, fussy cut it and colour it.
(I have used distress inks, Fossiled amber and Spiced mermalade to colour the giraffes and Spun sugar to colour the wooden plank by smooshing the ink pads on the craft sheet and sprintzing them with water.)

Foam mount the images and you think cutest, love filled card.
I also stamped another sentiment on the inside.
