Chalking with a Mask

Another challenge on the Paper Wishes Message Board was to create a mask and just color in the portion of your image that can be seen within the mask.  They suggested using a stamp for your image, but I used a digi-stamp instead.  I believe this one came from Digital Two for Tuesday.  I actually decided to make this the INSIDE of my card, using a hole in the front of the card as my mask before covering it in colored paper and covering the hole with vellum to soften the look.  Here is the front of my card, looking through to this inside page:

This card actually showcases several fun techniques.  The black border stickers were ones that I designed and cut with my Silhouette out of adhesive-backed vinyl.  The teddy bear was stamped on tan suede paper with StazOn ink.  The bow is colored with a glitter-gel pen, and the pads of feet, inside of ears, and nose, have Flower Soft glued to them.  I really like the way he turned out and may make several more!

Here's another card made using the chalking with mask, but I don't like it quite as well as the pink one:
