MASKING TECHNIQUE - PART FOUR, MASKING A WHOLE PANEL | CATHERINE POOLER DESIGNS

Hello everyone! Welcome back. This is the part four video/blogpost in Masking Technique Series. In this post I'll show you how to mask and stamp a whole panel. Please check the Part One, Part Two and Part Three videos where I've shared everything about Masking Technique in detail. Kindly watch the video below for more education. 

HOW TO VIDEO

CARD DETAILS

I started by stamping the stamps from Beautiful You Stamp Set by Catherine Pooler Designs on Canson Water Color Paper and on Masking Paper. I fussy cut all the images from masking paper, adhered over the previously stamped images and stamped again with Versafine Sepia Ink.

Then I water colored the images with Koi Watercolors. I didn't do any fancy here just followed the basic water coloring! 

Then I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set with Versafine Sepia Ink on white card stock, fussy cut it and again layered it with black card stock, fussy cut it and adhered over the water colored panel.

Finished the card with a few black splatters of paint and adhered the water color panel over the A2 main card base. :) I hope you like all these Masking Technique Series. I will be back with another stamping technique very soon. Thanks for visiting! :)

The stamping technique I used on this card was a old one but a fun one too. You can CHECK THIS VIDEO to learn this stamping technique. All the products I used to make this card are from Catherine Pooler Designs.

I reversed the stamp and stamped onto the paper with It's a Girl, Tiara and Sweet Sixteen, Mint to be and Melon Ice Inks. Later I stamped the outline portion of the same stamp in Midnight Ink. I fussy cut it and kept it aside. And the pretty flowers are from Beautiful You stamp set.

Onto the main card base I stamped one of the borders from Yay Stripes at the very bottom of the card with Midnight Ink.

Next I took another panel smaller than the main card base and adhered the flowers and leaves as shown above. Finally I finished the card by stamping the sentiment from Beautiful You Stamp Set in Midnight Ink. 

And that's all for today. Thanks so much for visiting. Take care and I will see you next time! :)

No Line Water Coloring with Catherine Pooler Inks | Video

Water-coloring is becoming one of my favourite techniques! In my last week's post I mentioned that I wanted to be a water color artist. Since then I just kept trying and I'm not saying that I am pretty perfect at this moment. You can point out many mistakes but I just love the result and I wanna keep trying :)

CARD DETAILS

As soon as I got my inks from Catherine Pooler Designs I almost tried out all the techniques, kind of tested it out and found that these inks are not only juicy and vibrant but also very versatile.

• When stamped it gives a solid and non splotchy image (ex: here)
• Gives a perfect ink blended background (here)
• Great for ink smooshing (here)
• Can do water coloring also 

I started stamping a few floral images from Beautiful You stamp set on Timholtz water color paper with Antique Linen Distress Ink. I didn't mask any of my images just nested the flowers by turning the images in different angles. I smooshed Flirty Fuchsia, Party Dress, Rockin Red and Lime Rickey inks on a DIY palette and water colored the flowers with a paint brush.

I just love the result. As always I added splatters of black paint to enhance the beauty of the design. I struggled a bit on where the sentiment should go but I decided to stamp on the center of the flower. I outlined the sentiment with Gold Calligraphy Marker to stand against the bright bold background. Finally added Wink of Stella clear for the images.

I have made a video for you and I hope you'll enjoy watching it. :) Thanks for visiting. See you soon!
