How to blend and mask a night sky background: EZ with CZ
Hi friends! Happy Wedesday! Please join me in welcoming special monthly Guest *CZ herself*, Cathy Zielske in the latest of our EZ with CZ blog series! Be sure to watch the video to learn all the details on this pretty card and enjoy!!
Hey everyone, it’s Cathy Z. here and today I’m sharing a fun card that shows how dramatic ink blending combined with masking can be on any card project, especially one that incorporates silhouette style stamp. I’m using one of my favorite Halloween stamps sets, Witch, Please, to create this fun card.
Here is the video showing you how this card card together:
WATCH THE VIDEO:
I added a 3.75 x 5 inch white panel on the inside, with a bit of ink blending on it using the same yellows, to give me room to stamp another greeting and to write a message.
Have you tried masking and blending? If you have any Halloween cards to make—and I hope you do!—give this fun night sky technique a try!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
