Learn from my crafting mistakes

So I managed to recently play with some new additions to my craft tool stockpile.

Namely the masking paper sold by Simon Says Stamp... well, I now know that if you are using this to mask out your final project, make sure your stamped images are all properly dry before applying your adhesive mask as otherwise the adhesive pulls up the top layer of your image and leaves you with a fuzzy surface when you try to remove the mask. Serendipitous on this occasion, but something to keep in mind next time!

Paper: Crate Paper
Stamps: PTI
Dies: Lil' Inker Designs, Cheery Lynn, Mama Elephant
Other: Wink of Stella Clear pen

After I'd stamped the roses on the background I really should have zapped them with my heat gun to make sure they were totally dry before sticking the mask down so I could stamp the leaves. Hopefully next time I mask off some stamping this will definitely work and I won't have the top layer of the image come away all fuzzy. It was a pretty texture for this card, but rather unexpected! My wink of stella pen did a fine job added glitter to the mix. :)
