How to mask your digital stamps.
Today I am back with another card for All Dressed Up Stamps. It is New Release Inspirations Day. There is a new digital stamp in the Etsy shop, Santa Post.
How cute is this image? I loved colouring her. In this article, we also talk about how I masked the digital stamp to make the background.
So let’s talk about how I made this card.
Measurements of this Santa Post card
- Basic white card stock to make the base of the card. You need a piece of 26 centimeters by 13 centimeters. Score at 13 centimeters.
- Piece of white cardstock measuring 12,5 centimetres by 12,5 centimetres
- Piece of white cardstock measuring 12 centimetres by 12 centimetres.
Digital stamp and coloring
I printed this digital stamp on DCP 200-gram paper. I coloured it with my alcohol markers.
- Skin: Peachy blush (259), Salmon Pink (25) and Barely Beige (29(.
- Hair: Chocolate (118), Clay (116), Rose Beige (97), Barn Red (245), Sand (107) and Tawn (106)
- Dress and hairband: Dark Indigo (188), Dark Sky (191), Midi Sky (190) and Baby Boy (144).
- Scarf, boots and mailbox: Wine red (01), Burgundy (247), English Red (249) and Cardinal (244)
- Tights: Blue Grey 3 (BG3), Blue Grey 1 (BG1) and Colorless blender (0)
- Letter: Pearl White (109)
- Bird: Dark Indigo (188), Dark Sky (191) and Midi Sky (190).
- Hat of the bird: Cardinal (244), Burgundy (247) and English Red (249).

Making the background
I printed the image two times. Once a DCP paper and once on regular copy paper. The image on regular copy paper I am going to use as masking paper. I cut the images out and taped them with purple tape on the coloured image. Now you can apply ink to make the background, without applying the ink to your image.
I used the colours:
- Oh my love (34)
- Pastel Blue (66)
- Pastel mint (67)
- Cookie Monster (79)
- Blue Berry (78)
Finishing the card
I wanted to give some texture to the card by using deco snow. I put that on the mailbox and the snow hill. I applied a little bit of snow with my brush on the scarf, coat and hairband.
In the corners of the card, the card looked a bit empty, so I decided to place two sentiments on both corners. Xmas wishes is a perfect sentiment in my opinion for this card.
I wanted to have a dark blue border around my layer with the image. So, I used the piece of white cardstock measuring 12,5 centimetres by 12,5 centimetres. I colored the edge of the paper with my Dark Indigo alcohol marker, to create my own-colored border.
Hope you like it. And you can find some more inspirational cards in the All Dressed Up Facebook group, and on the All Dressed Up challenge blog. Hope to find you there.
