Today will find find me leading a workshop at CE Towers in Kettering I have arranged a date for February and March and will let you all know the details as soon as the Designs can be released! Back to today and a simple technique using a mask again however this time with a die cut aperture.
I have completed a photo tutorial for this week as my typing is not the best!
I die cut an aperture into spice of Kraft card from CE and then placed the waste piece over the card I wanted to add the design to. Next I added the mask over the top and simply inked through the mask using distress ink. I then shaded around the shape to add a little more faded effect to the piece. Finally I simply added a stamped and die cut sentiment a bow and added it to a card blank, 18 x 18cm, that I had also shaded with the mask.
Take a look at your die collection and see what simple cards you can make from masks and the interesting shapes left behind.
Ingredients:
Creative Expressions Sue Wilson dies
Oslo
Californian Border, Tag and corner
That Special touch detail mask
Tea dye distress ink
Sand, Black,Coconut White and Kraft foundation card.
Enjoy...
Hello John, a really great idea, sometimes I think we forget to use the waste from a die cut as a stencil shape, and using it with the mask adds a lot of interest. Love the card. Have a great day. Bx
