My collection of patterned papers continues to grow. (Too bad the walls of my house fail to expand to keep up! But wait! My thin, sturdy patterned papers can lend themselves to craft projects -- thus creating gifts to give away! There's a good idea!)
I like using my two new releases together; today's daily post will explore only a few of the possibilities available when these two are yoked.
My just-released -- but already paint-stained! -- 6" x 6" mask Champagne s960 has struck me as a good design to use with black paper and my white Posca pen (a pen that came to my attention via my friend Judi Kauffman!)

Above: After I'd traced around the shapes in 6" x 6" mask Champagne s960, I used the same pen to outline the shapes of my other newly released mask, 4" x 4" Carnival m340. This smaller mask had already been cut free from the top of its original frame. My customization made it easier to place the mask in the two areas left blank after I had twice used 6" x 6" Champagne s960.
As I continued combining these two masks in making art samples, I switched to heavy body acrylic paints. This two-part combo led to a variety of intricate multi-layered prints.
Below: For my first project in creating a multi-layered look for today, I chose 2 pre-printed background papers that already incorporated designs both circular and lined. This choice allowed those original prints to become visual "echos" of my own new, red-on-white prints.

I need a Posca Pen! Great samples! Thank you!
