Masking

This is the technique I learned at the last workshop. I love the effect it gives and have used it for most of my special cards this year.

 

I have had the stamp for a couple of years and used it with either Stazon of embossing ink and powders before but this is by far the best way I have found yet, just finished off with some Stickles to make it sparkle.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The same technique but I used a cotton bud to add some colour on the leaves and flowers.

Update

I have been very remiss in not posting so I have decided to do a quick update and maybe gte some pics taken later.

I did finish the second advent box, the photograph is terrible as it doesn't show the embossing as it should be. I have shrunk it down so it looks a bit better (cheating!)

Then there was the christmas Card workshop I did - Cards with a twist was the title and it was another of the lovely Jennie from The Artistic Stamper and brought together lots of the techniques we have covered this year, and some new ones too.

I feel a little less guilty now!
