Congratulations Marina - can you contact Cathryn and make arrangements for her to send you her generous candy and that gorgeous tag (I am so envious).

Challenge 34 - Masking

For this challenge I chose masking.  I love doing the masking technique so it was an obvious for me but Sam chose to do a twist on this and used masking tape within her artwork.

Here is what Sam did:

You can see some of the masking tape in the corners but pop along to her blog and see just how she did it.

Cathryn and I did the traditional masking technique for ours and on my blog you can see step by step how I didn't get any of the images overlapping. Go on try it, you know you want to - but what will you choose.

Watch out for the winner of Cathryn's generous offer tomorrow.

4. please don't back link to an item prior to the date of the challenge (ie do not use old work)
5. follow the theme - ie rules of that particular challenge
6. include a brief description of what you used/how you did it

* If you are unsure of how to do any of the above Sam wrote an excellent guide

Exciting - "Be In It to Win It" - a Message from Cathryn

Hi Everyone - it's an 'early morning edition' of Artful Times!

As you know I have been helping out at Artful Times and I have to say Mr Mojo has returned!  I didn't have time to say a proper hello, and, because of that, I wanted to do something a little special.

Everyone loves Blog Candy!  Yeah! ...... so I thought it would be fun to donate some Blog Candy to a lucky entrant for this challenge.

You will win 

• my Tag (see below), 
• 6 of the new MDF Mans challenge tags, and 
• 6 Moonglow Starburst Stains - I love using these and the mdf tags are a dream to work with.

All you need to do is enter the challenge "Come Rain or Shine" - so get Mr Mojo working and enter and we will pick the winner at random when the challenge ends.

Bye!
