More Masked Stenciling

Hi everyone, I'm back with another Masked Stencil card for Group of Seven's February Technique. 

Please check out the details for the technique on the blog ...

This time I die-cut a "hello" mask and adhered it temporarily to my card front.  Peacock Feathers Distress ink was lightly sponged over the card front before adding the Wander & Find stencil (Carta Bella) over top.  I added more sponging over the stencil with Distress Inks: Peacock Feathers, Rusty Hinge, and Gathered Twigs.  Sponging the masked background first with a light colour allows the masked area to pop.  Adding stenciling overtop gives the background so much interest.

I'm adding this card to the linky on the Group of Seven - Masked Stenciling post.

I adore the blue and brown tones for your beautiful stencilled leaves Loll, which make a wonderful background to your die cut 'Hello' mask which really stands out...a brilliant way of using this technique. x

Another cool example of this fun technique, Lolly! I love the popped up panel and I think this technique is also a wonderful way to design one-layer cards and give them lots of interest while keeping postage costs low! Hugs, Dolly

Great color combination! It reminds me of a seaside beach, with reddish boulders scattered among the turquoise water. I love it!
