Tracey from Starving Artistamps suggested this technique. With all the great large die shapes available on the market, you can make some beautifully framed pieces.
Supplies: - Large Die Spellbinders or other Die- Die Cutting Machine- Stamps- Die Inks for Stippling- Inks for Stamping Images- Stipple Brushes- Card Stock- Scrap Paper or Scrap Card Stock (larger than card stock)Optional: Coloring Tools if desired
Step One:Cut the die shape from the Scrap card stock. The “negative” of the die is the pieced used for this technique. This is a mortise mask.
Step Two:Place the mortise mask over the other card stock. Secure with removable tape OR hold the mask securely while working.
Step Three:Stamp the images onto the card stock inside the opening of the mask. The images can overlap the masked and unmasked areas if desired.
Step Four:Load a stipple brush with ink.
Step Five:Stipple the ink around the edges of the mask. When stippling, whisk the brush from the mask to the cardstock, then from the cardstock to the mask. Make sure to stipple close to the mask edges. Keep the center of the mask un-inked.
Step Six:Remove the mortise mask. Color the images on the inside of the inked area more, if desired.
