Default WCW198 March13,2024 How to use masking fluid

Hi, everyone, Linda here this week and we are going to be using a tool that makes water coloring easier by keeping areas white. Here is the video-
You will find some nice tips from Emma Jane Le febvre. We would like to see you create any image you like but use masking fluid. If you don't have any use some type of masking on your card. We would like to hear what you like about it and if you have any tips for us. One thing I did before applying the fluid ran my brush on a bar of soap. It is easier to clean the brush.
When you are finished, please come here and link the creation. This way we don't miss anyone's card.
Uploading: Remember, the keyword is without spaces. Use a comma between keywords with an area after each comma.
Keyword WCW198
GalleryGallery at Splitcoaststampers

If you are new to the challenges, please feel free to do this one or ANY of the challenges at any time. There is no time limit. All the challenges are to provide inspiration and to get us stamping!

Need help linking a card? Follow these instructions!

1. Open two windows: One window for your card and one for this thread.
2. In this thread, click on reply and type anything you want to show before the link.
3. Go to your card window. Highlight the address for your card. (It says www. splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/showphoto..... and so on)
4. Click EDIT. Click COPY
5. Go back to this thread. Click PASTE.
You're done!

AWESOME challenge, Linda!!! I have a new masking fluid arriving today with a Let's Make Art watercolor supply order, as I've been anxious to figure it out... perfect timing! (Now, if only I can find time to craft....)

Thank you for the great challenge and to the team for the wonderful samples!

This is a nice video, Linda. I've used masking fluid before but it is helpful to see the tips in this!

Luckily, I had masking fluid that I bought for a WC challenge several years ago . . . I never think to actually USE it . . . . So this was an experiment that went a little right and a little wrong and ended up being something I totally like!

My shell is giving me a little bit of a "dagger" vibe. Maybe I should have turned the pic sideways.Shell

I went very left of field with my image and I found I actually prefer the liquid and a fine brush but you do have to be patient. I read somewhere you need to wash the fluid off after 3 minutes working. I also read soaking in alcohol helps if the brush is a bit sticky.
