Masking Magic, Day Four

Hey, hey, hey! I'm baaaaaaaack!

Yesterday we talked about briskets, so it's only natural that today we should talk about freezer paper. You knew when you bought that big roast that you were going to freeze part of it for another day. And since you tore off more than you needed for wrapping, how about we die cut some masks with it and see if that's a go.

Do you think that was the thought process of the first craftician who came up with this bright idea? I always go through that "what were they thinking" wonderment process, followed quickly by "why dinnit I think of that!"

So in yesterday's fabulous Online Card Class Mask-erade, we made masks using freezer paper. I pretty much stole CASEd the teacher's cards, except for different words and shapes and schtuff. 

Here you go:

The NBUS hugs die is from PTI. Everything else is self-exploratory. 

Except, PS, and this is true. If you've been following me for a while, you know that covering up all that white space with spritz and smatters and whacks is not my usual style. But it was really fun, so I let it fly. That's when I noticed I had on my brand new LL Bean white summer tee. That's right. Oh, yes I did. It doesn't look half bad in all these pretty colors, but it was a major brain fart on my part!

My second card (sans flicking):

I got the watercolor paper pretty wet before I added my watercolors and the masks held up great! The conversation bubble dies are from Simon Says Stamp. The NBUS sediments are from Paper Smooches (Metropolis and Word Salad) and The Alley Way Stamps (Words to Live By). The glittered enamel dots were brads, but I snipped their legs off because I didn't find them until after I'd attached the panel.

In cards, as in life, we all have fails along with successeses. Here's a panel that I heavily misted without success. I love the jewel tones, but when I did The Big Reveal, I discovered major seepage had happened under my mask.

This paper won't be a complete loss. I'll use it to make pretty word die cuts.

O Key Dough Key, off to my last day of class. Remember, it's never too late to "attend" any of the dozens of classes offered by the mega-talented ladies of the Online Card Classes! See you tamale!

Enjoy your day! No, seriously, enjoy! LITS!*
