3 Different Masking Techniques

One of my favourite techniques is masking and this card shares 3 Fabulous Masking Techniques.
The first stage was to cut the Stampin’ Up Masking Paper into 1/2″ strips and place evenly around a 4-1/4″ Basic White cardstock square.
Next die cut from scrap cardstock a circle using the 6th smallest circle from the Deckled Circle Dies.
Using this circle mask place over your piece of cardstock and blend with colour of choice. This option is using Basic Beige.
When finished remove the circle mask and stamp your desired images.
To add more texture I have used one of the Frosted Forest Decorative Masks, Boho Blue and randomly blended on the base.

Remove the Masking paper from around the edges with a Heat Tool this stops it ripping your paper.

For this second one The circle is blended in Highland Heather, you can use which ever colour you desire that co-ordinates with your project.
