CCEE1228 -- Technique Thursday


Lois is our hostess for the CCEE Stampers Challenge.  She asked us to use the technqiue of reverse masking on our creations this week.

I used an ocean border frame I just had to have years ago, but then forgot about.......thanks to Lois asking us to use this technique, I broke into my 'frames' drawer and was so excited to discover this 'ocean water' frame.  This image always brings a smile to my face as I have been a water person my whole life.  Whether it was the ocean, the lake, the pong, or the pool, I was either swimming in it OR floating on top of it.  To this day, my favorite activity AND exercise is swimming.  I am lucky enought to do it year round due to a nearby town's indoor pool.  I swim at least 5.5 hours a week!!!  Having said that, this image makes me smile for another reason.........it is because it represents swimmers like me who aren't so svelte!

ANYHOOOOOO.....be sure to check out the fabulous reverse masked creations of the rest of the team at the CCEE Stampers Blog.

Waah - why can't we have summer like this!! I love swimming too - not so fond of pools as I grew up by the sea and don't like the confinement (or the chlorine!!) of a pool.
It's never warm enough to float on a lilo like that here, LOL, but in Greece I certainly love being able to do that.
Thanks for such a sweet summery card this morning.

What a great frame! Glad you were able to use an oldie, but goodie today!

Glad you found that frame as it is just perfect for your little floater. Cute, cute card. No sunny day here..rain pouring down. We needed it, though.
