Masking With Stamps

This is a great technique to add dimension to your paper crafts without the chaotic look of layering stamp on top of stamp. The technique is called masking, and it’s possible because of a product called masking fluid.

When you begin your project, choose the stamp image that you’d like to appear in the foreground. This is the image that you’d like to appear closest to you. Take that stamp and stamp your image as you normally would.

Then take your masking fluid and apply the fluid directly over top of the entire image. Masking fluid comes in a pen tip applicator allowing you to apply it over fine lines and intricate patterns. Once you have finished, let the masking fluid dry.

Now take another stamp and apply it to your design, overlapping your original image as desired. The portion covered in masking fluid is protected against the ink and will not show. Continue this process until your finished image is complete.

When you’ve completed all your stamping, simply peel off the masking fluid. Use your finger to delicately push off and peel the mask.
