Forever Fern and Masking your Cards

Hello everyone. Today I created 3 VERY simple cards suitable for beginners or someone who has not used "masking" in their cards before.  I used the Forever Fern stamp set because it works so well with this technique.  Three coloured Classic Stampin' pads were used, in this case, Pretty Peacock, Pear Pizzazz and Soft Sea foam. Three matching card stocks were used for the base cards, Pretty Peacock, Pear Pizzazz and Garden Green. Whisper White Cardstock was used for all three card fronts and inserts.

Step one, using a piece of scrap paper, cut out the shape you would like to hold your sentiment. Here I have used an oval, circle and square. Lay your shape in the centre of your card front as below

Step 2, Stamp your design around and over the shape, being careful not to move the shape around. Aim for a balance of images and colours. When you are happy with the design, lift the shape away from your cardstock.

Step 3, Stamp your sentiment into the negative space left by the scrap shape.
