Both the first day and the second day focussed on paper masking. On my first card above I used masking to create depth by placing different images behind one another. All the stamps are from the Sunny Skies set by Lawn Fawn. After colouring the stamped images with Promarkers, I masked the images again and used the two cloud dies from the coordinating die set to create a mask for my cloud background, which I created by making flicking motions off the mask using a blue Flexmarker and then softening the outlines with a blender marker. To finish the card, I cut a panel using one of the stitched rectangle dies by Simon Says Stamp and matted my panel onto a blue card using foam tape.

For my second card, I cut 3 masks using a feather die (by Hot Off the Press, free gift with a magazine) and a curved edge die (Custom panels dies by Avery Elle). I coloured 3 batches of translucent embossing paste (Wendi Vecchi) using distress inks (mowed lawn, crushed olive and salty ocean) and then applied these through a stencil (Leaves by Pronty). After the embossing paste had dried I die cut two feathers from vellum and added a little Multi matte medium at the bottom ends to inlay them into the empty space where my masks had been. To finish off, I stamped the sentiment (Say it in style, Clearly Besotted), cut the panel a little smaller and matted it onto strips of SSS cardstock before popping it up onto a top folding card I created from Soft stone cardstock (PTI).

ReplyDeleteBoth cards are super. I do like kite flying and the masking technique is great. Thanks so much for playing along with ASM this week!
ReplyDeleteYour masking techniques are very well done Marianne! Even enlarged I don't see any "halo" which is usually a problem for me! I like that you went off the edge with your sun and the clouds turned out beautifully! Delighted you are sharing your project and creativity with us at Aud Sentiments!
