Card Making Masking & Ink Blending

Hello Tuesday,

It is boiling hot here today and my studio is too hot to work in after lunch so I managed to just film this video before it became unbearable.

I'm using up a stash of envelopes I found when tidying my craft room. So with this in mind I've made some thank you cards.  When ever I receive an order or customer I always give a thank you card handmade by myself, I don't write in the card so it can be used again.  Even small orders receive a card, orders over £35 also receive a small gift from me.








I’m using two very different stamp sets today but the same technique.  I’m masking my images and then inking around them.  This looks stunning.

I started by stamping my images onto Masking Sheet using Stazon Ink.  I fussy cut the images and put to one side.
The next step is to stamp the same image onto Whisper White paper and then place your mask over.  Then using a brush I blended my ink over and around the image.



This technique is a great way to use a stamp you would normally colour.  No colouring required but the stamped image pops from the card.  Change up the ink and paper colours for endless possibilities.
