April kit - Invisibles and masks

There are so many possibilities with this kit it is hard to narrow down to the one that you want to do! This kit uses Heidi Swapp Invisibles, paper that has resist material already on it in a pattern. Swipe it with chalks, ink pads, glimmer mist, watercolors, or any other medium to color the areas except the pattern of the resist. Additionally in the kit is the Heidi Swapp mega masks in heart shapes.

Layout 1. Chalks and Cats eyes chalk ink pads: You color my world

Use the circle frame invisible paper for the above layout. I chose cats eyes chalk pads in a turquise, lime green, and magenta. I took the medium sized heart mask and placed it on the lower right side of the layout over part of the circle frams. I used the Tim Holtz alcohol ink applicator and added chalk colors to the felt material and rubbed it into the paper, blending it where two colors met. After lifting off the heart mask, I took 6 of the smal hearts and placed it across the white heart (underneath where the medium heart mask was intially). I used a tiny pom pom to add a darker blue colored chalk to the white area left by the medium heart mask. Be sure to go around the little hearts carefully to get chalk all the way up to the little heart masks. Once done, the little heart masks can be lifted off and you have the layou above as show. Adhere your pictures and print title and journaling on the white cardstock.

Layout 2. Using glimmermist by Tattered Angels
*This layout is not yet finished and will be updated when the information about the picture has been found out from my Grandma.
Trim 1/8 inch from 2 sides of the Invisible paper. We will adhere it to the black cardstock when we are done. Take the large thin heart frame mask and place it on the invisibles paper. I used glimmer mist in wheatfields to spray on the invisibles paper. Give it swome time to soak in and carefully blot the excess off and let sit to dry. I also had to iron the paper to smooth out by placing face down on a sheet of cardstock and ironing the back carefully. Adhere your picture, journal and title. This photo really does not do the layout justice. The glimmermist leaves a shimmery layer to the paper.
