Today I am going to show you a simple but WOW card from our convention shoebox swap, which was designed by Melanie Ramsey.
This simple 2 layer card has 2 wow factors, I think.
1) the textured frame, so easily done with the framed tulips embossing folder!
2) the label in the middle is actually a technique called “reverse masking”. It’s done by punching a a shape into a piece of paper, then covering the layer of cardstock with that piece = mask. You then sponge or stipple ink into the punched opening and also stamp your image. When you lift the mask you have this wonderful dimensional shape.
Give it a try! It’s so easy but makes a card pop.
