Last night I had the privilege to teach techniques and product knowledge at a monthly Close to my Heart meeting. I went through the inks that we sell, and some different ways of using them, as well as dry embossing and heat embossing. I liked that there were some curly questions asked and that the other consultants walked away with something new to try. There were lots of card ideas given too, so it should be a fun month for all of our creative customers!

Exclusive Inks and masking. |
There are lots of different ways to mask and get different effects. These cards are both done with simple masks. The "so sorry " card was done with a circle off cut from a cricut and held in place while sponging CTMH Glacier close to the circle edge. I left the centre if the circle plain. Then I lifted the mask and stamped with the CTMH Happy to be friends stamp set.
The "happy birthday " card was masked using two strips of washi tape, stamped with fronds and flowers and then I removed the washi leaving a nice clean space to stamp the sentiment. I added a couple of CTMH Bitty Sparkles.
