Hey there, YNS fans!

It’s Thanh here today with a tutorial on masking. I know, seems like a basic beginners tutorial, but it’s such a great foundation for simple cards! You may also want to refer to Suzanne’s tutorial on masking as well.

Here are all the supplies I used for masking:

Step 1: Stamp the main image on a post it note. Make sure that the image is on the sticky part of the paper.

Step 2: Carefully cut the image out.

Step 3: Stamp the image on to your cardstock

Step 4: Layer the Post It note image on top of your stamped image.

Step 5: Stamp the second image over the first, this will then appear to be the background of your scene.

Step 6: Color your image… my favorite part!

Ta da! Here’s my finished card:

Just remember, some of the most basic techniques make the biggest statement. If you have any questions, please ask them below.

Have a fantastic Wednesday!
