Hi friends,
Happy New year! It feels like forever since my last post. I got so busy with friends and get-togethers. Apart from that I am working on a tall order of wedding invites so time is just flying.
Today, I am sharing a card (with tutorial) which showcase masking - to give dimension & depth in a single layer card.
I bought this mft stamp because I love those sentiments. But the images of spectacles are too small (as my cards are 5" x 7") to use it as focal point. So I used this stamp from Hot Off the Press too.
1. On the card base, position the round die & stamp to decide how you want to lay them.
2. Take a copy paper as big as your card front. Draw a circle with the help of die at desired position. Tear the paper by hand to cut out the circle.( you can cut it with die too but i love that deckle edge)
3. Use the negative to mask the base and stamp those spectacles with two different shades of grey.
4. Remove the negative mask. Cover the stamped area with cut-out circle - positive mask and apply chalk over the edges to define it. This will give an instant pop & dimension to the stamped portion.
5. Stamp the bigger image in black & add sentiment.
6. I wanted to add something on the bottom. I decided to use Simonsays this stamp as it has similar fonts as mft. Mask the bottom with torn paper & stamp few words. Apply chalk.
7. I made another card too. In this I made a mask of big spectacle by stamping and fussy cutting from copy paper. Lay that mask under the negative circle mask before stamping. This will push focal point in front giving more depth to the background.

I came over to visit from Darnell's blog where you were in her "new friends corner" and stayed, and stayed. I love all your creations, Neha. These glasses cards are indeed "spectacular". And it's amazing how changing the inking and stamping makes the background recede. I am now following your blog.
