Step-by-Step
-
Step 1
Stamp an outline image on a white cardstock panel.
-
Step 2
Stamp a mask for the image (sticky note used here).
-
Step 3
Cut out the mask and layer it over the stamped image.
-
TIP:
For a detailed image, instead of cutting a mask, use masking fluid after placing the reverse/mortise mask in step 4 or 5. Follow product instructions and be sure to let the fluid dry completely before proceeding. -
Step 4
For a die cut reverse or mortise mask, cut a piece of removable contact paper slightly larger than the card panel. Lay it over the card and position the die, securing it in place with a piece of tape.
Die cut.
NOTE:
Be sure the contact paper is sticky side down.
-
Remove the liner from the contact paper and position it over the card panel.
TIP:
Remove just a portion of the liner to start – determine placement and begin to adhere it, then remove the remaining liner. -
Step 5
If using removable tape to mask off the background, use a grid mat to help with straight placement.
-
Step 6
Fill in the background using sponged or brushed ink.
Stamp or stencil if desired, or use a pen to trace the edge of the second mask. -
Step 7
Remove the masks. Color the stamped image, if desired.
-
Step 8
Complete the project.
