Today we’ll continue creating with the Coffee With Friends set. If you missed yesterday’s post, you’ll see the other woman image from the set. I like creating scenes and this set makes it easy to do that.
Masking
I wanted to create a scene in a park on a sunny day so I made the sun by negative masking.
Negative masking is when you die cut or punch an image and use the paper as your mask.
To create the sun, die cut or punch a small – medium circle on masking or copy paper and place the circle negative mask where you want it on the cardstock you’ll be stamping the scene. You can discard the die cut or punched circle or simply save it for another project. (You can use it to create a moon with the mask!)
Sponge the inside of the circle as light or deep a color you want. Remove the cardstock and your sun is complete. Tip – whichever tool you use to create your circle negative, make sure there’s enough paper around it so when you sponge the inside, you won’t get excess ink outside the circle.
