Crafty Challenge Blog Hop - April 2023

The Crafty Collaborations Team is comprised of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world. Each month we participate in several collaborative projects, including Blog Hops, like this one to inspire all of us in our passion for crafting. Our Goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing.

Today features the monthly Crafty Challenge where the team creates projects using the below 5 elements. 

I do not often use masking for my technique. When I saw the 3x3 in the list, I thought, I can cut out a 3x3 mask and blend around it with an in-color ink - See below photo. I'll then fill in the blank mask space with a 3x3 square of DSP knocking out 4 of the criteria pretty quickly! 

Here is the finished product. I incorporated 'For you' in the overall sentiment.
