My favourite product this week

Last time I blogged we shared some ways on using Dimensional Magic. I thought I might keep my ideas flowing and talk about using "MASKS".


What are Masks?
Masks are shapes or letters which have been cut out of thin black flexible plastic and are stuck to a laminated white sheet. The masks have a repositonable adhesive on the back so that they can be used over and over again.

Masks are designed as the opposite of a stencil. Instead of colouring in the shape itself, you colour over the top of the mask and then remove it. What you end up with is a negative image, where the area surrounding the masks shape defines it.




We have these masks pictured above in store now so come in and check them out.

How do you use them?
Put your mask down on your base of choice then ink, paint around the mask. Lift the mask carefully with a craft knife and see your design.

Using masks gives a very artsy look to any scrapbooking page or art project with little effort.

Mediums you can use when masking:
*Acrylic Paint
*Inks
*Chalk
*Pencils

You are not limited to only using these mediums GO CRAZY and try whatever you can come up with.







TIPS:
Press all edges of the mask down really well before applying your medium, otherwise you could have seepage. This could cause loss af adhesive backing and effect the pattern of the mask. Masks can be cleaned with baby wipes.
