Stampin with Z-Grandma Karen

Sometimes we tend to use certain tools in one way.  The masks are a good example.  They are advertised to use with embossing paste, but simple ink-masking works just great!  In this sample, I used the polka dots sponged with merry merlot onto crumb cake for the top, and gold ink masked with the leafy pattern on the bottom.
