Maskerade Day 3

Today's card features a new technique from the MASKerade online class.  We learned how to use liquid masking to cover our image and create a background around it.  There are lots of different mediums you can use for this technique, but I used rubber cement.

I stamped my image first, then covered it with rubber cement.  After it had dried, I was able to create the pretty watercolor wash over the whole panel, without worrying about the flower getting color on it.  There were a few spots where I didn't have a thick enough coat of rubber cement, and some color seeped through, but I was able to scratch it away with a craft knife, and no one can tell!!  I used distress ink in fired brick, seedless preserves and worn lipstick.  The PTI sentiment was heat embossing in white after the panel had dried.

I was really happy with the way this turned out, and think I will be using this technique again! 


I am entering this into Darlene's challenge over at Live Love Cards, where the technique is watercolor!
Thanks for stopping by!
