Heidi Swapp Invisibles

Heidi Swapp Invisibles allow you to make a truly unique page! Each sheet of cardstock has a pattern on it with a resist material that allows you to use ink, chalk or glimmer mist to create your own special pattern. The areas without the resist material accept the color, but the resist areas do not accept the color and the pattern comes through.

Tips for Using the Mask

• De-stick it a little by dabbing on your clothes to remove some of the sticky.
• Layer with the positive and negative shapes
• Lay the mask sheet face down on the work surface then lay the Invisible face down on top of it – it is much easier to get the shapes straight if you do it this way rather than juggling with a floppy, sticky piece of plastic! Turn over and smooth the mask in place.
• Use a blending pad to apply ink or chalk
• Clean the mask after use so the next time you use it the previous color doesn’t come off onto your new project.
• Use scrap paper if you are near the edge of the page – that way you can keep on inking without worrying about getting it on the table.

What can you use?

• Acrylic paints (go easy so the paper doesn’t get too wet!)
• Chalks
• Glimmer mists
• Inks

Care of the Mask

Always store the mask on its backing sheet when not in use, and take care to clean off any ink after use. If it loses its “stick” after a few uses, wash it gently in warm soapy water and allow it to air dry and it will be as good as new again, a spray removable adhesive could also be used.

Create your own masks!

You can create your own masks with almost anything - die cuts or chipboard comes to mind. They are a great way to make your own masks without spending a lot of money. Just remember to use repositionable tape!!
