All That Glitters

Masking Unleashed

Basic Masking

Welcome!

I have seen a Christmas card at a couple of craft stores in our town that uses the same photograph and I wanted to try to recreate it.

I started by creating a circle mask out of Eclipse masking paper that will be for an ornament hanging in a pine tree. After I placed the mask on my Neenah solar white cardstock I blended a background with Distress inks. 

I then used water to create a Bokeh effect on the bottom of the panel. I enhanced the three whiter spots by adding some white acrylic paint.

Stamped the pine boughs from Avery Elle Holiday Bouquet stamp set with Altenew crisp dye inks.

I removed the mask and colored the ornament in with Copic markers.

I used a White gel pen and added snow to the ornament and al the pine boughs.

 I cut the ornament top from Stampin' Up! Delicate Ornament Thinlit dies. I added that to the panel with some silver thread by tying it to the topper and taping it around the back of the panel.

I adhered the panel to a red card base and then added the sentiment with Altenew Mini Christmas stamp set using VersaMark and red heat embossing it.

Thanks for joining me.
