TJ Inkspirations: Masking and Omitting Small Images


I have always loved the Don't Lose Faith stamp from Technique Junkies. It has a wonderful sentiment and is a beautiful illustration:

SD704 Don't Lose Faith


But when I came out with the SS131 Acceptance, Respect, Peace Set, I couldn't help but think that these things were a match that couldn't be passed up. The only problem was that I wanted to use the sentiments without the embedded "You must not lose faith in humanity..." sentiment.

Today's video shows you how to mask and omit those small words from the stamp perfectly. This is the result of the masking:


and a peek at the inside of the card:


You may also notice the blue map in the background. That is a stamp called S131 Dutch Colonial Map. That stamp has never been released by Technique Junkies, even though it has been in my line. I think it is amazing on this card, so now I am releasing it for you! What I like about this is how it is detailed enough to add great interest to a piece, but non-specific enough to not have to be from anywhere specific. At least, that is how I see it!

You know I am here to help you save money (after I enable you!). You can get all 3 of the stamps in this kit - saving yourself $5.86 in the process!
