This course was another lesson in masking; however this class took it up a notch. I enjoyed learning a new technique, using masks twice, to create pretty designs.
I used the
Garden Rose stamp set included in the Craft Your Life Project Kit. To me, masking is an advanced technique because you have to plan out what needs to be stamped and in what order. The image that is "on top" of the rest of the images is what needs to be masked. So I first stamped that image and then stamped it again on masking paper that I then cut out. I colored the stamped image using stencils. Then I used the cut out image on masking paper to cover it up. Then I stamped another flower on top and then repeated the process again with the leaf images. I then took some of the same pink ink color and mixed it with some water and splattered it all over the card using a small brush. And lastly I embellished it with matching sequins.
For this card, I used the leaves from the same Garden Rose stamp set. This time, I created several masks for each leaf stamped image. I lined them up on the card and used Shabby Shutters Distress Oxide ink and a blending brush to cover the entire card front. I then lifted up the masked images, shifted them slightly and then used Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink to cover the entire card front. This created a nice two-toned image on the card front. I die cut the same leaf images and then placed them on the card using foam tape. I splattered gold ink to add some interest and then die cut the word hello and adhered it using foam tape.
This is a super cool technique and I had fun working on these two cards.
