Reverse Masking and Double Masking Stamping Technique

The "other" side of the coin from "Masking" is "Reverse Masking".  That is where you take the "negative" and use it sponge your colors – remove the negative tempate and stamp.  Love this technique and I have a number of samples to share.

Here's one I made for my son for his FIRST Father's Day.  There new baby girl, Brooklyn Ember, was born May 31st.  What a delight!!

And I actually did a Double Mask on this card – instructions below!

 

 

Stamp Sets:  The Open Sea (WM 123030, CM 123032, page 104), Delightful Dozen (WM 122650, CM 122652, page 140), Up, Up and Away (WM 122755, CM 122757, page 37)

Card Stock:  Whisper White, Basic Black

Ink:  Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Black Staz-on

Embellishment:  1/8" Mini Brads (122941, page 174)

Punch:  Modern Label (119849, page 183)

Big Shot Labels Collection Framelits (125598, page 191)

I very lightly sponged the background of the Whisper White Card Stock.  Next I cut out using the Big Shot and the Labels Framelits (2nd from the smallest).  I used the "negative" part of the framelit and sponged starting at the bottom with Melon Mambo, then Pumpkin Pie and last with Daffodil Delight. I then used the "negative" of a 1 1/4" circle cut out and sponged inside that to make the moon

Next stamp was to stamp the ship and birds and the sentiment.  I cut the Modern Label punchout in half, added the mini brads and adhere them to the front.  Added the basic black to the Whisper White base – done!!
