Well...here's a card I made using this technique.
First - I made a mask by die cutting out a piece of cardstock using Spellbinders Labels 8 set. Next - I put the mask over the card base and stamped the Mesh Background. Then - leaving the mask in place, I used a Sponge Dauber and inked around the edges to darken it up a bit.
THAT my friends is Mortise (reverse) Masking.
PRETTY DARN COOL!
I LOVE the NEW A Muse Studio Holiday Catalog that was just released...but lets not forget the AWESOME holiday stamp sets available in the regular catalog. Like the sets I used on my card: Harvest Blessings, Happy Jacks and Mesh Background. BUT...I did use the NEW Wasabi ink on the Mesh Background and NEW French Roast Flocking on the pumpkin stems. MAN I love getting new stuff!!!
Julie Ebersol - Director of Education for A Muse Studio - did a fantastic video showing how to do this technique. Check it out!
