HLS August CAS Challenge

Hi everyone.  Welcome to the HLS CAS challenge for August.  This month it's all about Masking ... and there are a number of ways to use this fun technique.  Come join us and show us how you use Masking on your cards ... we'd LOVE to see them!!

The Design Team have come up with some fantastic ways of using Masking ... and I know you'll be inspired.  If you have time, drop by their blogs to see the details on how they made their cards, or leave a little love for them here in the comment section at the bottom of the post. We'd love to hear from you.

Here's our new challenge ...





Not sure how to use Masking on your cards??  The team has shown many different ways to use this technique, and there are also some wonderful video tutorials listed below if you want to try something new.

Please remember to keep your card entries CAS ...

At Happy Little Stampers, CAS  (clean and simple) is defined as:

- one main focal point
- lots of white or open (no pattern) space
- minimal layers
- minimal embellishments


This month we are thrilled to have Joanna (Harty to Heart) as our Guest Designer.
Welcome Joanna!
