Sure you can mask stamp images, but sometimes it is just as easy, if not easier, to ink up only part of your image or sentiment in order to come up with a whole new look. Find out what we're talking about in this new technique video by Erin Lincoln.
A few still images of both the outside and inside of her project.

Erin, this is such a sweet project. Thank you for the tutorial!
It’s always so surprising to see the thought process that go into making a card. Once it’s demonstrated you can see the details and the thought process of making a balanced card. Nice job on incorporating so many different techniques and getting the most out of our stamps and dies.
Erin, you always bring such different perspective to your card making projects. How sweet the possible story for your card. I love it!
Now I look forward to Mondays-lol. Very nice video, truly enjoyed it.
I really enjoyed your video and especially the project. I definitely went away with several new techniques I hadn’t thought of using… so tku much! Always enjoying coming here on Mondays.
So cute!
very cute card! and a good reminder to look at your stamps in different ways!
tfs, sandyh

I ♥ ♥ ♥ this card! This is an awesome video <3
Thank you, Erin! I loved the tutorial, and your card design is ADORABLE!!! Your friend is lucky to have someone like you encouraging her! 😀 She will love the GREAT card you made!!!
Thank you! You’ve given me a couple of great ideas for my stamps and one for a punch too. Appreciate it!
Great tutorial/beautiful card – I have been absent from card making for a while ….. but after watching your video – guess what I am doing tonight – making a card. I love how you explain all the steps – giving us many ways to use our stamps. I need to see it done and then I can go from there. Thank you for a great tutorial. PS – you got me wanting to buy some more stamps & dies too.
Thanks for a great video! I really appreciate that the video has several different ideas & techniques as well as the main ‘selective inking’ technique. I can’t wait to try out some of these ideas. TFS 😉
What a lovely card, and so special for that friend. I love all the techniques…can’t wait to try one.
What helps me to prevent getting ink on parts I don’t want inked, I use Scotch tape to cover those parts and then remove the tape before stamping! Works like a charm!
Thanks for the tut and fun card!
Just adorable!! I loved the video! Thanks so much!
Thanks so much for your video! I love watching step by steps and your card is lovely!
Thanks for another brilliant tutorial!!

I just love this technique. So glad PaperTrey is showing all the 2011 Make it Monday video’s. This is one I missed. A wonderful technique that I’m going to try.
