Here’s a design I’m really excited about and it’s so simple to do. As you know…I’ve been having fun with my airbrush tool lately and this is one project that shows you a neat idea for masking. Masking is one of those essential techniques when doing most airbrushing and you can use a mask you’ve created yourself, mask using a stencil or purchased mask or just use something you already have on hand by laying it on top of your project. I love KI Memories die cut papers and had a scrap leftover just large enough to use on the front panel of my design. As you can see…I didn’t actually keep the lace paper on my project but used it as a mask.
Sweet Sixteenth
Quick Tip: This is one great way to get lots of mileage (and a new look) from those expensive diecut papers. You can use the paper as a mask over and over OR simply use it as a mask once and then reuse the airbrushed mask in another project.
