Masking with Kim Kendell

Tim Holtz Masks
These awesome repositionable adhesive masks are suitable to use as a stencil tool. Apply inks, paints, sprays, or a variety of other mediums over them for effects unlike anything else you’ve ever seen before.
They are suitable for use with many mediums such as distress ink’s, paint, glimmer mists, alcohol inks and you are to also use chalks, but I think the best effect can be achieved using the Tim Holtz Blending tool.

Heidi Swapp Masks
Heidi Swapp masks are so versatile and look fabulous on any scrapbook page layout. Simply lay them on your page where you want the design and then you can ink, paint, and chalk the outside area. When you remove the mask you will then be left with the mask image. The Heidi Swapp masks have a tacky backing so that the stay where you want them on the page. These masks can then be used over and over again on your other scrapbook page layouts.

Glimmer Screens
Ornate, durable Glimmer Screens were created exclusive for use with Tattered Angels’ Glimmer Mist sprays. Simply spray, brayer, or rub over the screens to add extra lustre and sparkle to your project. Also try them with chalks, paints and inks.
I love the fact that there is never any waste. You just lay a tag or two down in the left over Glimmer Mist left on the mat, rather than wiping it up with a paper towel and throwing it away… it’s beautiful with the colours all blended on the tag.
Then …with the Glimmer Mist that is left on top of the Glimmer Screen. Just turn it over onto your paper. You can use the negative and the positive of the designs.
I love how these colours blend when they are wet. Just wipe up your desk with a tag!  Just lay some of the screen designs with leftover Glimmer Mist on them , down onto the “still wet” tag, for a more “watercolour” effect.

Make your Own Masking
Don’t ever underestimate the ability to make your own this can be made from many varied items such as the negatives if chipboard as well as the chipboard shapes/letters. Try using the left over fancy edges of packaging as well as these give a fabulous effect.
Using lace and lace dollies as a mask also gives an awesome effect you achieve a shadow effect from the lace and when using a doily the whole doily is the shadow these look fabulous on a heritage and vintage LO
I hope this has help make masks a lot less frightening  to you.
