I'm on a roll here, just finished a tag for a new baby. Sentiment is a print and cut I made in Silhouette studio.
I use a really inexpensive roll of tape that is used by painters to cover door frames and such. It is transparant enough and is very easy to remove from the paper or cardstock, I love it.
That way I can stamp the image first, then mask it and use distress inks for the background, and finally colour the image.
