So... maybe a year ago, maybe longer I picked up a bottle of masking fluid. and then I read more about it online and thought, I dunno if I can take the fumes and I never ever opened it... good thing you had this challenge Bev, I am a champion sticky note type masker so, this bottle (I already have sinuses messed up from the fire smoke) So, it was a good day I could not smell a thing ( rolling eyes here) and its a really good thing too because, I dont know what this stuff is supposed to be like but, mine is almost thicker than liquid mono multi glue... I painted it on the leaves of the wreath with the paint brush, and waited for it to dry. it dried pretty thick and lumpy so, I have pretty big halo's but, all in all its not too bad for a first attempt. after stamping the woodgrain I just rubbed off the masking fluid with my finger it came off as little green blops. Thanks for this kick in the seat of pants Bev! & tfl.

Okay .... this really gives a great visual on the liquid masking!! Like you, I have an unopened bottle ... but it just hasn't had stampy table time for play yet. Genius you has shared the LIGHT with your awesome wreath against the background! Thank you so much, Stacy. This is SO cool!!

This is gorgeous!!! I still haven't bought masking fluid but I would love to try it. Hearing about the smell keeps me from giving it a whirl. This is so gorgeous in soft colors!!

Love the warmth of your wood grain background! The green and red really pop against it! That is a beautiful 'Blessings' die cut. I just realized I haven't one Blessing or Blessed sentiment of any kind in my stash. Ha, ha! Guess that needs to change. :-)

Well maybe we will all get our masking fluid opened and used now that you have shown us the way Stacy! I too am guilty of the unopened bottle! This is really my favorite masked project I've seen so far!
