I paired the masking technique with the Quite Meadow stamp set for a quick and easy Hello card.
Here’s how:
- Create a mask for the flowers and leaves. Stamp image on a scrap piece of paper or Post-It Note. I stamped it on a Basic White card stock piece since the image is larger than the Post-It Notes I have in my stash.
- Cut out the image. If you used a Post-It Note, be sure to have the sticky part as part of the cut-out. If not, add a small amount of adhesive to the mask to avoid shifting while stamping.
- Place mask on Very Vanilla card front. Stamp word image from Quiet Meadow repeatedly over the mask using Early Espresso ink.
- Remove mask. Stamp flower and leaves image in the blank space from the masking using Early Espresso ink.
- Color image using a variety of Stampin’ Blends or Stampin’ Write Markers. I used Flirty Flamingo, Lovely Lipstick, Granny Apple Green, and Crushed Curry Stampin’ Blends.
- Sponge Early Early Espresso ink along the edges. Dab ink over image to help “age” it.
- Stamp greeting on Petal Pink card stock using Early Espresso ink. I used the greeting from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set.
- Cut out using a die-cut machine and tag Meadow Die.
- Tie a bow out of Linen Thread. Attach tag to card front using a Mini Dimensional to pop it up. Attach bow using a Glue Dot.
- Add 2021-2023 In Color Jewels to complete.
I hope you’ll give this easy masking technique a try.
