Before we talk more about masking, I should mention that we are having a little hop today to share the latest Essentials by Ellen release (peek at the whole awesome release HERE)! If you are hopping with us, you should be arriving from my sparkly & talent friend Carissa Wiley's blog.
On these cards, I used Glossy Accents to mask my little ghosts and keep them bright white on colorful backgrounds. Here are my tips for masking with Glossy Accents...
- use heavyweight cardstock like 110lb Solar White to avoid warping from the layer of Glossy Accents.
- masking with Glossy Accents is a great way to highlight white images like ghosts!
- apply Glossy Accents as close to the edge of the stamped image as possible.
- use a craft pick to remove bubbles from wet Glossy Accents and pull into small spaces of the stamped image (if you don't have a fine tip applicator).
Here's a quick video...

I love your technique of masking with the glossy accents. Your ghosts really did pop after you finished with the background warm color blend you used. The card will bring a smile to the recipient. thank you for sharing.

Love these fun bright cards! The colors are awesome and these little ghosts are a blast! Great job!
Thanks for your video & that great tip for masking. I think adding a dab of glitter to the ghosty tails was a good idea. I can see why you chose the 3 colours of D.O. inks to blend with as they are so vibrant & beautiful.
So very cute!
Great cards! That’s such a fun little ghost.
Such a cute ghost and great inked backgrounds.
