Online Card Classes - Maskerade! Day 4

Hello Friends,

It supposed to be my busiest day of the month and what am I doing? Hmmmm, some of you know me, don't you!  I've been playing!  I'm totally caught up in this great Online Card Class, I just have to make something every day, if I can, whilst it's live!

Today we were learning about using freezer paper for masking.  To be totally honest, it doesn't seem to have worked well for me.  I don't think I have the correct stuff :(!  I've tried glassine paper and waxed food paper, but neither worked for me today!

So in my haste to make something and to get very similar results, I used a very old technique.  I clear embossed the leaves image with clear embossing powder, did all the stamping and then covered the image with copier paper and ironed off the embossing powder from my artwork - phew!

I water colored the background first, but it wasn't great and as I'd messed around for far too long today (my busiest day of the month), I decided to use my ink blending tool and blend ink all over to cover up a pretty blotchy background!


I went for a very quick and simple mount, for my card!

Got to dash, I've got 18 crafty ladies to entertain tomorrow ;)!

Have a happy and crafty weekend.

  5. This is gorgeous! No apologies about method, you were just one day ahead of class. Your classes sound like so much fun. If I wasn't an ocean away, I would surely be there.
