![🔴 Easy Masking Technique for Cards | Beautiful Ink Blended Backgrounds!
Today, I’m sharing an easy masking technique for card making that creates soft, blended backgrounds with a clean, layered look. This simple technique uses a handmade mask and blending brushes to add color in a way that feels effortless but looks beautifully detailed.
For these projects, I’m featuring the NEW Stampin’ Up! Balloon Festoon Dies and Scalloped Blooms Dies. Instead of using them only as focal elements, we’re using their shapes to guide the background design. This gives you a fresh way to stretch your supplies.
This technique isn’t just for cards! You can also use it for scrapbook pages, gift bags, tags, and more. Once you try it, you’ll start seeing possibilities everywhere.
Be sure to watch all the way through to see how both card designs come together and how easy it is to switch up colors and shapes for a completely different look.
Are you excited to try this easy card making technique? Will you try it for a birthday card or some other occasion?
