In my Marvelous Masks class last year, we created a card using a pretty simple technique: daubing VersaMark ink through a mask and embossing the panel with clear powder. Here’s what that card looked like, using a retired Decorative Masks set and an also-retired fancy schmancy label:
I loved the way that card turned out, so we created a similar one at last week’s Heartfelt Inkspiration team meeting, this time using the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks from the Stampin’ Up! 2022-2023 Annual Catalog. (If these masks retire — I’ll know Wednesday — don’t miss getting them!)
That Basic Gray panel is 2⅛” x 5½” — a very efficient use of cardstock, as you can get eight panels from a piece of 8½” x 11″ cardstock. The magic is the clear embossing, which makes any color of cardstock look so rich.
It’s a little tedious to pounce the entire strip with VersaMark, so I wouldn’t do this on a panel that’s any larger. Also, it’s kind of difficult to tell if you’re applying enough ink, but it’s all wonderful, even if it’s not perfect!
