Hi, I would like to share a layout
I’ve done where I’ve used a mask to create some dimension to the background.
For this Layout I used the Prima brick mask.
To create the background I started by white washing an area where I was going to use the mask. Then positioned the mask and inked over it. I repositioned the mask a number of times to cover the area I wanted to have the showing the brick pattern.

The church window was cut using SCAL on my cricut and then embossed
on the Cuttlebug using a brick embossing folder. I then rubbed some gold rubon onto the frame.
It finished up like this –
I positioned a photo behind the church window and also cut
around the photos I’d taken of the tomb with the children and the statue of the
lady and positioned them in front of the window. There is a hidden tag with journaling behind
the children’s photo on the right of the layout.
The border on the top and bottom is a Martha Stewart punch
and I used different colours to give the layout a bit more dimension. To finish the layout I added the vines which
were cut on the cuttlebug and some flowers which were from a punch. The final touch was the butterfly which is
from the Collections range.
FYI the tag says –

“On our tour of the Cotswolds we stopped at this beautiful
church in Burford. It had a lot of
interesting features inside including the 16th century memorial to
Edward Harman, the barber/surgeon to Henry VIII. The monument included carvings of his family
of 6 girls, 9 boys and his wife.
Every nook and corner of the church had another interesting feature including beautiful statues (like the lady in the middle of the layout) and a Ladies Chapel separate from the main chapel. There was even a tomb with the bones on display.”
The finished church layout looks like this –

Thanks for looking and I hope you try using masks as they
are a lot of fun and can make a very individual background for your Layouts.
