Warm Birthday Wishes - Masking Technique Tutorial

Hi all,
I have a super cool project to share with your all today :)



Colorful Stamped Bookmark



Here is a step by step tutorial for this card :)

Here is what I started off with,

  • A piece of folded CS in dark green color
  • Plain white Neenah CS 
  • Post it Notes for masking
  • Love Stamps from Varnas
  • Distress Inks Kit #1
  • Washi Tape for masking
  • Cotton for distressing [I donot have any blending tool as of now, so blend using cotton balls :)]
  • Mini Butterfly stamp from HOTP small stampset
  • Happy Birthday sentiment from same set
  • Crochet thread



First up I stamped the heart onto a few post-it notes and cut it out for masking process
Then I adhered washi tape to the centre of CS and masked off the area for adding sentiment





I started off by stamping the heart off the CS. Now mask off the stamped portion using a mask cut out 


Stamp the next image. I continued this process and created a diagonal set using 'mustard seed' DI .




Next i did the same with 'spiced marmalade' DI on the top portion of yellow, and with 'picked raspberry' DI ont he bottom portion.
Finished off with 'peacock feathers' DI on the corners.





Once the entire stamping was done, i blended the same DIs on co ordinating areas.




I stamped some butterflies using 'red' pigment ink and fuzzy cut it. I removed off all masks including the washi tape and stamped "Birthday Wishes" sentiment on to the clean area.

Finished off by adding some thread in coordinating color and adding some butterflies. 
Adheres the finished piece to the CS

I made a maching embellishment sticker in coordinating colors and theme. This stamp is also from Varnas
This can be attached to any of your items on your desk or your notebook/artjournal etc.

Here is a colorful bookmark to go with the card. Doesn't it look yummy..If you thought it is stenciling you are wrong guys... It is created using a diy handmade eraser stamp and distress inks. WHat do you think of it guys!
