JAI 311 Just add masking & sneak peeks

It's new challenge time at Just Add Ink & this week Nikki wants us to just add masking! Masking is not a technique I've really used much but I took on the challenge & used it to create the background on this card.

I created the masked panel with shimmery white cardstock, a sponge dauber, rich razzleberry ink pad & a long piece of post-it tape.
First I masked & sponged an angled panel for the sentiment, moved the post-it, sponged again & repeated this process to create the series of rays above & below the panel. The panel was a little bigger to start with but I cut it down so I could add the mat & show more of the base.
I kept the rest of the card super simple - a razzleberry mat & butterfly backed in vellum. The shimmer card is really lovely irl too - maybe you'll see it a little if you click on the pic for a bigger image.

What's that you say - don't recognise the colour of the card base? Well that's because it's a sneak peek of our gorgeous new in-colour sweet sugarplum, coming on June 1st with the new annual catalogue. My photos don't show the loveliness of this colour - which is a softer purply-pink cousin to rich razzleberry & blackberry bliss. You can see more of it below on the card inside. The sentiment is also a sneak peek from a new set called Mixed Borders. I think it coordinates well with the sentiment from Tin of Cards, which I've used on the inside.

I included more masking inside & couldn't resist another butterfly. It's only attached at the body so it sort of pops out when the card is opened.
Here's one more look - I think you can see the vellum better in this one.

Thanks for visiting today. I hope my card inspires you to try some masking of your own.
Remember to head over to the Just Add Ink blog to see all the different masked projects the team & try the challenge yourself.

Before you go, remember to pin my card for later inspiration & leave a comment if you'd like as I love hearing from you.
Inky wishes, Di
