For Linda's super WT challenge today - Linda, you come up with some wonderful ideas! Are you a Tortoise or Hare?
I fell in love with the card in the Masking Fluid Resist tutorial when I first saw it. But I knew that if I didn't like my regular writing on a card, for sure I wasn't going to like what I might achieve with masking fluid! Fast forward, and I recently got a Masquepen in a local school supplies shop. That already would make writing easier, and then I had the further bright idea that I could use the negative of a die-cut as a stencil to guide me. So, Linda's challenge gave me the push to actually try this.
The base layer is a failed layer, sigh... the Hello was a bit neater, but I got some old thin masking fluid on the back of the card and then when I sponged it, it looked different where the stain was. I pretty much followed the tutorial. The second layer, I trimmed it down, edged it with gold and layered it onto the fail layer. Added some gold twine and a gem brad, and in the end I stamped the focal point feather again and embossed with blue EP, finishing it off with Stickles.
Time taken- if you count the failed base, two and a half hours, plus another twenty minutes later messing around with the twine! But there was a little drying time involved in each layer, which was used for other stuff - like tidying my desk .

Beautiful! It takes me two hours to make a simple card, does not include "drying time" or cleaning anything! Not only do I now require a Masquepen, but I need a leafing pen, as well (thanks, you little enabler, you) - the edges are one of my favorite things about this fabulous creation.

Sabrina, this is beautiful! I love blue and the masking fluid splatters are so cool. You did well with the sentiment too. I need to get me some masking fluid!

Really gorgeous, Sabrina, and a stroke if brilliance to use the negative space to guide the sentiment! I love the beautiful feather and touches of gold!

Amazing Sabrina - this technique is so very beautiful, especially in the colours you used. I have never seen this technique before, but now I need to get some masking fluid! tfs
