A Year of Card Techniques / November 2017 / Masking Magic

WELCOME TO:




Welcome to A Year of Card Techniques Blog Hop where each month we feature a different card technique. We’ve assembled a team of card makers who range from new to advanced, so you’ll see a great variety of cards and ideas.

This month we’re going to explore masking techniques.  There are so many variations of masking, it would be difficult to list them all here.  But, since pictures speak louder than words, we’ll let our team show you the masking techniques they opted to try.  Hopefully, we’ll inspire you to try one yourself.  If you would like to check out our past technique hops, you can do that here:

For my card, I used a circle die cut to mask out for the moon and a die cut for masking out the globe. I used the dauber to fill in all the background with a combination of navy and black and glacier to make the night sky. I used our chalk pencil to add touches of snowflakes. Finishing off the globe with liquid glass for the shine. I stamped on our glitter paper with archival ink to make the base of the globe sparkle. Used the same glitter paper to add a strip of sparkle to the bottom of the card. I have provided videos below with great explanation of this and other masking techniques. I just finished a workshop for Christmas cards so this fit in just perfect timing. Stop by in the next week, I will have posted a couple more ideas, for you~~
