I wanted my Chef to have colored pants so I had to mask. I did this by first stamping him in Black on white cs. Then I stamped his lower parts on a post it note. From my experience with masking, you do have to cut the black lines off of the post it note to get your image to stamp close to your main image. I masked off his shoes too since I wanted to color them black. Place the mask on your image and overstamp.

Marie K hosted a One Layer card swap. It was difficult to come up with an idea using only one piece of cardstock, however, I am pleased with the way this one turned out.
After I had stippled the top and bottom of my card with a shaving brush, I stamped the image on the white cs in brown ink, masked the sky area with a scrap of paper, stippled a horizon then removed the mask. I re-inked the stamp then stamped it on wax paper. I turned it upside down, with the ink towards the paper, and lined it up, so the image would be matching. I then brayered over it, to leave the reflection. It goes down a lot lighter, which is perfect for a reflection. Known as the Reflection Technique or Mirror Image Technique.
