MASKED CHRISTMAS

Hi Stampers!
Masking is a technique that I really enjoy.  It is easy to do and can make for stunning effects. 

To create this card, you will need:
card stock:  Pacific Point, 4-1/4" x 11", scored at 5-1/2"
                   Whisper White, 4" x 5-1/4", cut 3
stamp set:   Come to Bethlehem
inks:            Pacific Point, Marina Mist, Stazon Black
tools:           Apothecary framelits, Big Shot, stampin' sponges
extras:         Rhinestone Jewel, Snail adhesive

To create the front mat:
1.  Cut the mask out of 1 piece of Whisper White using the framelit and the Big Shot.
     You will need the piece with the "window" hole for step 2.
2.  Stack the mask onto a second piece of Whisper White, making sure that all the edges line up.
3.  Sponge inside the "window" using Marina Mist, followed by Pacific Point.
4.  Keeping mask in place, stamp image using Stazon Black.
5.  Remove mask.
6.  Stamp sentiment.

Finish the card:
1.  Stamp inside sentiment on last piece of Whisper White CS.
2.  Assemble card using Snail adhesive
3.  Add a Rhinestone Jewel to the star for a bit of sparkle.


Here's the same card, but using the Lovely As A Tree stamp set:

Whatever your day brings, take time to have some fun.

Thanks for stopping by.
