How To Mask Quickly with Lined Paper

Here's a card I made using CTMH's "A Garden," "Universal Backgrounds," and "Whooos Your Valentine" stamp sets.  I also made Smoothie my color of choice--to meet the requirement for the Color My Heart color dare for this week.




I manipulated the flowers by bending the clear stamp in different ways and then stamping each way on the white square--giving the appearance of one stamp.  MS Glitter Glue and White Applique added a little pizzazz to the stamped images.




To make the bit of color and pattern across the center of the card, I grabbed the first thing that I saw--a random sheet of lined paper.  I tore it and laid it across the part of the Smoothie cardstock I wanted to ink.  Then I stamped the background stamp twice and sponged across the open surface.  When I lifted up the lined paper, the torn look remained in ink.

Usually I would use painter's tape for this type of masking, but this worked well--and even afforded me a larger area for the stamp to spill over on.


Thanks for stopping by to take a look!
Blessings,
Brenda

The torn, inked, and stamped panel is lovely. But the addition of the Baker's twine really sets it off! Thanks for joining the Color Dare this week.
