Yvonne's Favourite Technique

Good Morning Everyone,

How are you all today? I hope you are well and are all looking after yourselves in this glorious weather.

Today we are carrying on the theme of 'Favourite Mask' and Yvonne is showcasing her beautiful  and elegant projects.

"My favourite technique using SplodgeAway Masks is embossing craft metal.  Sometimes I cover the embossed metal with Acrylic paint and then take a lot of the paint off.  This way the paint stays in the embossed bits of the metal.

On this occasion I decided to leave off the acrylic paint and have a clean look.
I made two embossed backgrounds and on the first card used a piece of ribbon and a Happy Birthday sentiment, this was then matted onto black card.

On the second card I added a piece of craft metal which was heat embossed in black and using an Oak Tree stamp.  All the elements were then mounted on to 8 x 8 Kraft card.

I've added a photo to show how deep the pattern is when using the SplodgeAway masks as an embossing tool."




Thank you Yvonne for these beautiful samples, I think they are so crisp and clean. I have never tried the metal with the masks but I think I will try now. Check out Yvonne's blog for more amazing inspiration.
Have a beautiful day,

Susan x
