To create this card, I first punched a 1-3/4" circle from Masking Paper and adhered it to the centre of a Basic White Note Card.  Then, using a Small Blending Brush, I softly applied Timid Tiger ink around the circle, blending outwards.

Masking Paper has a gentle adhesive—like a Post-It Note—that protects areas of your project from ink.  In this case, it shielded the centre of the card front, creating a soft, glowing circle once removed.  The result?  A beautiful spotlight effect that really makes your focal image shine!

Next came the Titmouse pair.  I stamped these cuties in Secret Sea ink onto Basic White cardstock, then coloured them with Cloud Cover and Timid Tiger Stampin' Blends.  I used the Color Lifter liberally to soften the coloured edges and create that dreamy, washed look.  After fussy-cutting them out, I popped the Titmice up with Stampin’ Dimensionals—perfectly framed by the softly inked glow.

To finish, I stamped “thanks” from the Blooming Phrases sentiment set in Secret Sea, carefully inking just the word and not the extended flourish on the "s".

This little notecard is a sweet and simple way to say thank you—with a soft glow, a gentle colour palette, and a dash of cuteness.  If you love birds, blending techniques, or just want to try something new with Masking Paper, this project is a great place to start.  Why not give it a go and brighten someone’s day?
