Inkspirations Challenge #98 - Masked Frame

Well another week has flown by & the countdown to Christmas is really on!

This week's challenge at Inkspirations has some pretty colours for you to play with:-

 I was inspired by the lovely, & very talented, Andrea over at Enchantink to create this card:-

This is a really simple but effective technique where you mask the centre of the panel & build up layers of stamping around the perimeter of the mask.  Once you remove the mask you have a nice crisp frame for your sentiment.  I've utilised first, second & even third generation stamping, to get some graduation in the challenge colours.  I've added a die-cut daisy & ribbon to finish it off.

If you would like to play along in the Challenge with us, or just check out the awesome inspiration from the rest of the Inkspirations Team, check out these links:-
