I'm not one to use a lot of techniques, but I find of the techniques I do use, masking is my favorite. Especially when it comes out perfectly, as this did not hence the strip of navy paper :)
My inspiration seems funny when I look at it now, this weeks Mood Board Monday.
How I got from lace, buttons and flowers to a masculine card is beyond me. I think I pulled out Country Charm because of that little plaid pinking square? Who knows! But once I started stamping the strips it just feel like a guy card to me.
What's your favorite technique? Are you a technique junkie or do you steer clear of them like me?

Girl, I don't know how you got there, but I LOVE that you did! That's what it's all about, take from it what you want and leave the rest. I absolutely love this!
Your card turned out awesome Mo! Love that you went with a masculine card for this one. :)
I love the bold stripes Maureen. I'm miserable at masking...I try it regularly but never quite succeed!
I love the twists and tuns that inspiration can take - you can totally see how it was inspired by the photo despite the fact that it went in a more masculine direction. Very cool. :)
I am not much of a technique person unless fussy cutting counts as a technique. That's one I do a lot of and I'm usually pretty good at it. I love the look of masking but I have yet to come close to mastering it!
Ha - the strip of navy paper! I can relate. This is great. I love how the little peeks of white show through between some of the stripes. Made me think airmail immediately.
