The Write Stuff

Archive for the ‘Masking-Reverse Masking’ Category

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC771), we’re headed to Stuffed Safari. They have some really cute stuffed critters & was drawn to the bats & cats on THIS page.

My card today is pretty easy. I die cut a white panel then masked off an area on either side & sponged the colors inside the unmasked area. Put it in my Misti & stamped the spooky tree image a few times. Just to give it a little punch & imitate a layer, I added a couple of thin black strips on either side. Stamped the greeting & some bats & done!

Here’s a look at the inside.

For my card, I die cut the front shadowbox & added the purple deckled frame on top. The cabin & trees were stamped on a lg white panel, masked then the snow & sky were sponged in. I used some thinned white acrylic paint in a mini mister to spritz the falling snow. (It’s thinned to about a 3 to 1 ratio & has been in this mister for a couple of years. Still works great!) Some extra trees were stamped & die cut to add dimension around the frame & stickles was added to the snow & trees for some sparkle.

Here are Copics I used for the cabin.

This is for Splitcoast Featured Stamper Challenge (FS707) & a big congrats to Angela! She has a fabulous gallery with so much to love there. I chose THIS card to case. I kept the opposing florals w/ a greeting in between, but I used different images, colors & dies & made mine a slimline Christmas card. I’m also including this in my friend Kittie’s Dare to Get Dirty Challenge.You can find all the details for the challenges HERE. You’ll need to be a Fan Club Member, so click the blue link & find out how.


For my card, I stamped (masking along the way) the pinecone images & branches using the Color Fuse inks. I added the berries & a couple of them were die cut & added after the fact. I used a dot bg to add just a bit of splatter, then tucked the oval die cut greeting under one of the berry branches. After die cutting the slimline postage shape I attached it to a dk red card & added a few gems.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
