Here is a closeup of Heidi's Card for today's tutorial.
To create a mask I stamp the image onto printer paper and then onto your card.
Next I fussy cut the image of the lilac that was stamped on to the printer paper. This does not need to be a perfectly cut image. In fact you will get better results if you cut just inside of the line of the stamped image. I also used a craft knife to cut out some of the smaller areas by the leaves.
Next I applied the 2 way glue to the back of the fussy cut image. Let the glue dry just until it is slightly tacky and then place on top of stamped image on cardstock. Covering up the image with protect it and keep it free from ink when stamping on top of it--masking the image.
I used Memento London Fog to ink on the background stamp. After I stamped the background and removed the mask then I trimmed the paper.
To color the image I used Spectrum Noir markers and all of the colors are listed in the supply list below.
I used all of the inks in the suppy list below to add some color, shading and depth to the background image. I use a cotton ball to apply the inks in a circular motion for a nice soft effect. First,I added some London Fog ink around the edges of the lilacs for some shading. Next I started adding the different shades of purple starting with the lightest color and going to the darkest color. To finish up the inking around the edges I used Gray Flannel ink.
