I got a beautiful new stamp from Chocolate Baroque. The iris is very delicate and pretty, so masking using the conventional method of a post-it note wouldn't have been successful. So I tried the tissue masking method. The tissue is backed by thin plastic, which means it is easy to cut around even the most intricate designs. I then peeled it off carefully and placed over an image I had stamped on to white card, and sprayed green and yellow Dylusions ink over the top. The mask came off and left the stamped design perfectly clear. I have stored the masks on a sheet of paper, as I think I will be able to use them again. Any slight 'halo' effect round the design was easily filled in afterwards.
