Step-by-Step
-
Step 1
Cut a piece of repositionable adhesive shelf paper slightly larger than your cardstock panel. Die cut the shape you will be using for your reverse mask, taking care to position it where you will want that shape on the card.
-
Step 2
Remove the paper backing and lay the adhesive sheet over the cardstock panel.
-
Step 3
Apply a coloring medium to the open area created by the die cut (FSJ Liquid Color used here).
-
Sponged inks or pastels can also be used. Take care with wet media as it may seep under the edge of the mask.
-
Step 4
With the mask still in place, ink up a background stamp and stamp in the open area.
NOTE:
Be careful not to touch the adhesive paper, as the ink will remain wet. -
Step 5
Carefully remove the adhesive paper. You can clean it off and reuse it a couple of times.
-
Step 6
Embellish the panel as desired.
-
Step 7
Complete the project.
