Hi, friends! Do you love using ink to add color to your handmade cards? Teri here to show you how with these Take Care Masked Cards. She uses inks and an easy masking hack! Give this a try.
A Masking Hack
Start by cutting several strips of printer paper. Apply E-Z Dots® Repositionable Refillable Dispenser to them!
Take one of your strips and place it across a panel of cardstock. Apply ink onto the panel. Use the strip to cover up your inking and add another strip to your panel. Add more ink. Repeat the process over and over until your panel is covered with ink.
Use your strips to mask off parts of your paper panel. Set a stencil on it and apply some additional ink. You may need to reposition your masking strips on the panel multiple time to add additional colors of ink! Also, if you are worried about your stencil moving around, use one of your masking strips to hold it in place.
Use Your Panel to Make a Card with Die-cuts and Embellishments
Once you’ve completed your panel, trim it down and adhere it onto a card.
Create a sentiment from cardstock and vellum. Apply adhesive onto the card with the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. Randomly arrange some thread on it. Use 3D Foam Strips to add the sentiment to the card. I cut up my strips and placed them right behind the cardstock words so they could not be seen through the vellum.
Add a couple of 3D Foam Stars to your card. Burnish Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets in Nature onto them. Make sure the foil color is facing you. Complete the card by adding some sequins or other small embellishments.
Change Out the Look with Color Blocks
You can change up the look of your masking by creating blocks on your panel, rather than just stripes. I used my masking hack to add blocks and stripes to this card.
Instead of using the same stencil to add extra color to the inking, I used different ones.
I hope you are inspired to try today’s masking hack next time you create a card! Thanks, as always, for stopping by!
Happy Creating!
