How-To Video: Permanent Masking & Eclipse Tape

Hey, there.

I have a video over on the Hero Arts blog today that shows how to use Glossy Accents as a permanent mask. Here it is...

(c) Hero Arts. For supplies and info, click HERE.

A lot of people ask how I keep the back of my cards clean when inking. The video shows... THIS is the trick - Eclipse Masking. You can also use post-it notes, etc, but I love this product and how easy it is. There is a ton on the roll...

And aren't THESE leaves lovely?

And I told ya I would be using THIS Fabulous Floruish stamp a lot... :)

Finally, if you don't have it, get it - Glossy Accents is a must-have...

OK... off to work. Have a fab day.

Thanks for the video. Your videos are always so clear & easy to understand. You enunciate so well, that someone with a hearing problem has no difficulty in understanding your speaking voice. You keep your project in camera focus, so that's it's very visible, you show what products are being used, and the projects are always 'doable'. Appreciate your sharing these wonderful techniques.Mary H.

Can't wait to try out this technique. Checked everywhere online for the eclipse masking tape and no one has it. One site said eclipse has quit making it. Darn.

[Anita A.]

Great video! What a great tip!

[Chrissie R]

You always inspire me and think of wonderful new ways to use products! I created my own version of your card here: http://chrissiecreations.blogspot.com/ in case you want to take a look.

On the subject of keeping the back of cards clean, i learned to just let whatever happens, happen...i think it adds to the hand made look, but it's nice to know that such a product exists!

[Pearl Maple]

Nice! and even nicer that you showed us how
Of course I am loving that maple stammp

[Kay G.]

Thanks Jennifer, I love this card. I really enjoyed the video and can't wait to try this.
