Get It Scrapped! Stencils & Masks

Sometimes it amazes me to see how fast and how many trends appear in the Scrapbooking world.  Today, at Get It Scrapped! we are sharing our ideas on one of these fun trends:  Stencils & Masks.  There are a lot of masks out there right now, one of my favorites being the Mister Huey's masks from Studio Calico.  If you don't want to spend the money for masks, you can also create your own, if you have a die-cut machine.  I used some Smooch Spritz to spray over my mask, but you could also use paint.  Here is what I created using the mask and some spray mist:

 

This is the process I used, to create the background for my layout with the mask and mist:  I thought the Mister Huey's Bubbles Mask would be a perfect way to create a fun background for my sports-themed layout.  I placed the mask on my cardstock and used a fine tip Sharpie to trace around some of the circles.  Once I finished tracing, I placed the mask back in place and used some Smooch Spritz from Clear Snap to mist over the mask.  Then I removed the mask and used some Tattered Angels spray mist, to create some mist drops on my page, by removing the nozzle and tapping it over my background paper.

Using Stencils and Masks, offers a great way for you to add interest to your layouts or projects.  And it's a great way to create your own custom papers for your layouts.  I hope you will give this fun technique a try on your next layout!
