With a simple circle punch a mask can be created to add color and interest to a card background.

On this example a piece of Basic White paper was punched with a circle, then layered over a second piece of Basic White and color was added to the circle with Blending Brushes.

To create more color, on this card a second circle was punched from a post it note and placed over the sun. Then green, pink, and blue ink was added using Blending Brushes.

Watch my Creating a Mask for the Prairie Grass Stamp Set Video Tutorial to see the colorful card being created.
