Masking & Backgrounds with Nichol Magouirk

Hey everyone!

Nichol Magouirk here today with a quick video tutorial showing how I mask my WOJ images to create a scene and how I stamp backgrounds over the WOJ scenes.

I really love the look of dimension without the bulk. It makes mailing a card so much easier for me. I have found that by masking my images, I am able to create lovely dimensional scenes that are not bulky at all!

Here is the card I made using the sitting WOJ Oakley, Fence and General Sayings Greeting Stamp:
