Hi Everyone! Happy Tuesday to you!
I really have been enjoying using masks and mists lately on my projects, but the one thing always putting a road block in front of my creativity is not having the perfect mask. It always seems I want a shape I don't have or isn't available on the market. I have no worries any longer since finding the Tim Holtz Idea-ology masking sheets in the store! With these sheets, you're possibilities for creating a mask are endless. You can draw out what you would like to have become your mask, or if you're like me and a little intimidated by that option, you can use your die cut machine and favorite dies! There are complete instructions on the package to make creating your own a mask a successful and easy experience.
I decided to try out using the dies. Here is a picture of the materials I needed in order to create the mask.
As you can see, all I needed was my Sissix (any machine will work as I am sure you may be a bit more updated than me. LOL!), the masking sheets, and a couple of dies.
Here are the finished masks:
What I really like about this product, beyond creating custom masks, is the masks you create will have adhesive on one side that is easily lifted up from your project. This makes it soo much easier to get a clean masked image.
Here is a card I created using the dragonfly (I have been wanting a dragonfly mask for awhile now!):
Isn't that pretty??! I wish you could see how much shimmer this card has! The photo just does not do this justice at all. I used the Shimmerz Spritz and am really pleased with how the color came out over the patterned paper and how clean and obvious the masked image is.
So, the next time you are thinking about how fabulous a masked image would be for your project, but shy away...don't! Just head on over to the store and pick yourself up some masking sheets and create away!
Happy Scrappin'! ~ Scarlett
