I really enjoyed creating this card with my distress inks and a masking technique using post-it notes. I stamped the image on the slant to correspond with the PC generated sentiment, then placed 3 post-its round the image and applied ink. With the completed section covered with another mask you can continue to colour the other sections with different but toning inks by just moving the masks about. This is a simple way to give drama and highlight an image if you don't mind getting inky fingers!

This is really lovely. gorgeous colours. xx
ReplyDeleteI love these colours together & the way you have placed the instrument in a patch of colour making it look as if it is in a spotlight. The masking has given a lovely dimensional look to this & I love the classic classiness of it.
