Watercoloring & freezer paper masking to make a Valentine's day card

Hi,
My vlog & blog for today is a watercolour card that I made using a masking technique. I did not use artist masking fluid, but I used something from the kitchen. Freezer paper is the masking medium today. It was not an artist or craft supply. It is used to wrap and keep meat in a refrigerator ( fridge ). One side of the paper is coated with plastic like substance. Place the shiny plastic coated surface facing the watercolour paper. Then heat is applied using an iron box. The plastic coating on the freezer paper starts to melt and it gets adhered to the watercolour paper. That's how it works. Now its time to paint watercolour the paper.
I used 3 patterns for painting. All the three patterns are cut using Cricut electronic cutter.
once the painting is dried complete, remove the freezer paper to reveal the masked pattern.

Valentines Day card using watercolor & freezer paper masking

Hi,
I recently watched someone making a T-shirt using freezer paper masking.
Freezer paper is used to wrap meat. It has a shiny surface ( plastic coated) & a regular surface. When pressed with an iron box the plastic coating melts and it will adhere to the surface to be worked on. I incorporated the same technique to make a card for Valentines craft series. I enjoyed making them.
The iron box temp is set to medium heat setting. Strathmore watercolour paper is used. I used a kitchen freezer paper, nowadays freezer paper is available as craft freezer paper as well. The kitchen freezer paper comes in a big roll, while the other comes in sheets.
