I am taking this online card class so got to watch Day 3, 4 and 5 videos all in one go. Day 3 used liquid masking (sadly not in the supplies I brought with me) and Day 4 used Freezer paper, something I've never seen here in NZ - but I believe I might be able to get at Spotlight in the quilting area- still remains to be seen. Anywhoo that left me with Day 5 - using clear embossing for my mask - or really as I know it, resist. However it's not just stamping and embossing bold stamps, but also using embossing ink via a pen to cover your entire line art stamps once you've coloured them. Now embossing ink/pen I DO have.
I stamped the Hero Arts Night and Flower flower and coloured with Copics. Once done, I used my Versamark pen to cover the flower and clear embossed. I then sponged over with some blue Distress Ink. Added the sentiment from Quietfire Design.

I also did some masking yesterday with Post It tape -
This is using a new Hero Arts set (Baby Animals). I masked and coloured these but haven't made it up to be a card yet.
And other of yesterday's offerings
This one uses the new Hero Arts Colour Layering Bird. I spend a bit of time trying out different colour combinations before making this one. My colours:
base ~ HA Stone Wash blue, 2nd layer~Chipped Sapphire distress and 3rd layer HA Wet Cement. Did not quite get the branch in the right place and my sentiment is rather drunkenly added to the card! Not quite sure how that happened. I trimmed my card down - a bit much as it turned out, so used some ombre ink to stamp Hero Arts Deco Flower background to add to the side. Finished with splatters of the inks.

Sounds as though you are having a wonderful weekend.
I have a roll of freezer paper, but don't know where I got it from now - probably when i was doing a bit a quilting.... now I can use it again :-). Love your top card, and the wee animals are so cute - the last one looks as though the bird is just landing :-)

Three really fabulous cards, Dawn! Your first card is so elegant, and I love how you masked and colored the animals on the 2nd card! Gorgeous job on the bird, too! I love that you used shades of blue and your sentiment and splatters are just perfect!
