Here is a card that I made as a result of masking using shapes. Our assignment was to cut cardstock using a Nestabilities die and use the negative to sponge around the shape. Also, it was suggested we use a negative from a punch also in our creation. The inks I used to sponge are Memories Soft Baby Blue dye ink and Vivid Bermuda Blue dye ink.
The fish image is from Paula Best. I stamped it onto Georgia Pacific cardstock and colored it with colored pencils, both Prismacolor pencils and Caran d'Ache. I cut the image and placed it on top of the masking assignment with a pop dot. I added Stickles to the "bubbles" for a little shimmer and shine. Colored cardstock layers are included on this card.
I'm thinking the sentiment (unknown) makes this the perfect retirement card to add to my stash.
