Frame negative space focal areas using stamped borders or delicate stenciled designs.
Remove masking tape and liquid masks cleanly without tearing or damaging cardstock.
Build spotlighted card layouts where white space acts as the primary design element.
Stretch basic masking supplies to craft modern framed card compositions.
