creating a faux layer card

creating a faux layer card

Have you ever created a faux layer with masking?

This is a simple card using 3M sticky notes to create a mask to make a white “faux” layer diagonally across the middle of the Basic White layer to give the illusion of an extra layer in the middle of the card!

Measurements:
BASE: Real Red CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
Basic White CS: 4″ x 5 1/2″

I adhered three sticky notes together and cut them to the width desired.

Attach to the Basic White layer diagonally in the center of the Basic White layer.

In Real red ink stamp the flat florer across both sides of the 3M sticky note mask and around the edges of the layer.
Blend the layer with the mask in place with a blending brush and Real Red ink.
Remove the mask and stamp the sentiment diagonally from the Phrases and Frames stamp set in Real Red ink.
Cut a length of Red ribbon an inch or two wider than the layer and tape the edges to the back of the Basic White layer.
Adhere the Basic White layer to the Real Red cardstock base.
Adhere three embellishments to the card to finish off this easy faux layer card!

Try this easy technique and let me know when you create! Now it’s your turn to create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!
