Hello friends!
A break from my Diwali cards here on the blog.
Though I am still far away from the number of cards, I promised myself to send, I am hopeful that I would be able to achieve that.
Over to my card today!!
This card is made for the new challenge over at Inkspirational challenges where the theme is Word prompt - Mask.
For my card, I went with the very basic technique of masking. Something I have used numerous times before but had completely forgotten about. I was recently reminded of this when I saw a card by Kristina Werner.
It was fun making this card and I enjoyed it a lot.
I used to teach this method of masking, to my 5th-grade students, for making canvas paintings. The joy they used to feel on seeing their own artwork (after pulling off the tapes) was just so palpable. (Oh how I miss all that!!!)
I could remember and feel that joy again while making this.
I used a 1/4" washi tape to mask off my areas and watercoloured the various sections.
Heat embossed the sentiment of black cardstock.
Hope you like my card.
Hop over to the challenge blog to see more beautiful inspirations by my team-mates.
Thank you for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteoh how wonderful it made you remember how happy it made your students and I can see this in the happiness and vibrancy of the colours you used-maybe you used these colours without realising what you were channelling-the joy of the kids! Wonderful card x
