Beautiful Masking Technique with Artistic Dies

Thank you for joining me today! The project I want to share was part of my recent Craft Day In online event, and it’s such a great little technique to add amazing interest to your detailed dies. For this example, I’ve used the Artistic dies:

Create a gorgeous background perfectly to "color in" your intricate dies with minimal layers! Join my online class to learn this and four other projects — Add a gorgeous envelope to take your project to the next level

This project is a little deceptive. It’s really just one white layer with the die over top (as well as the mat and card base). I love how amazing this looks with so few layers.

I didn’t stick the die down completely; I wanted the edges to lift up just a little for texture.

As you can see, the inking underneath isn’t spot on perfect, but I also like that look of one part of the image blending into the other and the meshing of the colors.

Of of my favorite things to do is to make a custom, coordinating envelope, especially when the card is an non-standard size.
