Freshly Brewed Projects: Masks

The inspiration for this Freshly Brewed Project is ….

Masks

Decorative Masks are a great way to add some texture and layers to your projects. Stampin’ Up! have a great set of Decorative masks, but did you know that you can also make your own? For my card today I have created my own mask using the beautiful succulent die from the potted Succulents Dies to create a soft and subtle background. The great thing about making your own masks is it too can be used on a card after you have finished with it.

Supplies used: Simply Succulents bundle, Blending brushes, Basic white card stock, Purple posy card stock, mint macaroon card stock, mossy meadow card stock, Purple posy & Mint macaroon Stampin’ Blends, Mint macaroon & blackberry bliss Ink, whisper white crinkle ribbon, and Basic rhinestone jewels.

To make the card … and pictures

First cut out your mask from card stock
Place mask over the piece of card stock and tape it with some washi tape or removable tape to stop it from moving around when you are adding some colour.

Ink up your blending brush, sponge or brayer with the colour you are using and gently apply it. To get the best results it is better to start with a light covering and add more as you need it.
Remove your mask to reveal your coloured image.

Stamp the succulent image in mint macaroon and colour with purple posy and mint macaroon Stampin’ Blends. Stamp a sentiment in black berry bliss.
Cut the succulent image, sentiment & the mossy meadow images with dies from the Potted Succulent dies.
To finish I have added a bow and rhinestone jewels.
