Create backgrounds using masks and stencils and ink for all your projects using a variety of different techniques. Creating backgrounds using Masks and Stencils are an easy way to blend colours in your cards and other papercrafting projects
Stampin’ Up! have been offering masks and stencils for a number of years, however, they are a product which seem to get overlooked in the catalogue. They are fabulous for creating backgrounds with colour and texture.
The butterflies and flowers layering decorative masks in the January-June mini catalogue (P65) are brilliant and very affordable, and you can do way more than just backgrounds. The background masks can be used on their own, furthermore, you can see your images really pop when you layer the detailed masks/stencils over your projects to get even more depth and dimension.
Several Ideas for using masks and stencils
- Add ink to the masks with blending brushes or sponge daubers
- Use ink refills to spritz or watercolour through the masks
- Embossing pastes for textured designs. You can add also drops of ink to the paste to colour it
- Create Zentangle style patterns in the images with a Black Stampin’ Write marker or watercolour pencil.
- Emboss the pattern on the masks/stencils onto card in a die cutting machine with a rubber mat
Butterflies and Flowers layering decorative masks
6 masks are included in the pack: 3 background designs and 3 designs with layering capabilities with an assortment of flowers and butterflies: 1 layered butterfly and 2 layered flower designs.
Layering Two Masks/Stencils together!
You can even layer two decorative masks together to create a different design. The card below shows the butterfly mask combined with the flower background to create a flowery butterfly!
Coastal Cabana and Granny Apple Green inks were used with blending brushes to create the flowery butterfly design on a separate piece of white card. The butterfly was fussy cut out and attached to another piece of white card decorated using the background mask in Coatal Cabana and Daffodil Delight ink with an ombre effect
Polished Pink Rose Easel Card
An easel card using the layered roses mask. Blushing bride, Polished pink, Old Olive and Garden Green inks were used to colour the flowers and leaves on the mask/stencil.
Unfortunately these stencils/masks are not carrying over to the annual catalogue and if you do not want to miss out on these adorable masks and create your own backgrounds using masks/stencils, you can place your order HERE before the mini catalogue ends on 30th June.
