You need to see the product that will make beautiful card images

Today's card features a new product in the Jan-June Mini Catalog: Butterflies & Flowers Decorative Masks:

You can create textured and colored backgrounds with these Decorative Masks. The stencils are an easy way to blend colors on your cards and other paper crafting projects. You can use the background masks on their own. But your images will really pop when you layer the detailed masks over the backgrounds to get even more depth and dimension. Use with classic ink and coloring tools such as Blending Brushes and Sponge Daubers for beautiful color. You can also use them with Embossing Paste and Palette Knives for textured designs.
