Hello lovely bloggers everywhere - hope your week is going well?

Just popping by to share my make for this week's challenge at LESS IS MORE. Our lovely LIMette Leaders, Chrissie and Mandi, would like us to do some Masking, so I decided to use a technique which involves three stamps.

I am sure lots of you will know how to do masking with three stamps, but for those of you who would like the details, I will pop them below.
Update - March 30th - My card has been ShowCASed - whoo-hoo!
Thank-you Chrissie and Mandi !

1. Stamp the Torn Aperture onto a piece of cardstock.
2.Stamp again onto a piece of paper (larger than the cardstock).
3. Cut out the aperture centre only. (mask #1).
4. Place mask over the image you stamped onto the cardstock.
5. Stamp a suitable image over the mask (I used Hero Arts Gracious Lady).
6. Remove mask.
7. Stamp aperture once more onto paper, then cut around the image. Do not cut out the centre.(mask #2).
8. Place mask #2 over the entire image which you stamped onto cardstock.
9. Stamp a background image (I used Inkadinkado Lace 90355). Remove mask.

I would love to know if anyone else has used this Artifacts "Torn Aperture" stamp in the past?
Here it is (looks a bit strange doesn't it)! I bought mine several years ago, but I've checked and it is still available from The Stamp Bug online shop.
On my card I also used Versafine ink pads - Crimson Red and Smokey Gray. Copics here and there to give some shading.
Red Bazzil cardstock.

The Anna Griffin sentiment stamp was also masked - the full wording is Forever and Always, so some cellotape over the unwanted bits before inking does the trick! (Remove cellotape before stamping - but I'm sure you know that)!!!
