Hold on to your hats and glasses…and go grab your watercolors. Today’s tutorial is one of my absolute favorites because it features my newest partner-in-crime: Liquid Frisket. I came across this stuff on line a few weeks ago and needed to have it immediately. I woke up early the next morning and was at the art supply store when they opened the doors. Craft emergencies are a real thing and this was a big one.
Here’s the low-down in liquid frisket:
Now that we’ve gotten introductions out of the way – let’s make something with this stuff…like a pretty set of simple stationery.
{1} Write out your sentiment with the liquid frisket applicator bottle onto watercolor paper. Allow the liquid to dry completely. Once it is dry, it will be transparent.
{2} Apply the watercolor across the liquid frisket sentiment and allow the watercolors to dry.
{3} Pull upward to peel off the liquid frisket. This will reveal your masked sentiment beneath.
What do you think? Will you give this a try?! The technique is quick and easy and the results are very organic and handmade, which I love. The simplicity also leaves lots of room for creative additions. I’d love to hear about your frisket adventures!
Oh my gosh, that is the neatest stuff! You created such pretty cards with it. I have to get my hands on some of that…so many possibilities! Thanks for sharing!
Heather Telford uses something similar (she calls it liquid mask) and she “flicks” it onto a watercolor paper, lets it dry, then sponges or watercolors and stamps and then rubs the mask off and it gives a great effect – especially if creating a snowy scene.
that’s a great technique!! I’ll have to give the “flicking frisket” a try!
Totally gorgeous cards today, Amber! Let’s put masking fluid on the “Gotta Have” list.
Well Amber-san you never fail to amaze us!
Thats an awesome idea!
HAHA! “Amber-san” – i like that!
Hehe…. Well I’ve been playing Video games and watching anime since ages! The fact of using the honor wording has became a habit!!
I hope I did not offend you in any way whatsoever.
Please mind this Otaku!!!! >_<
*happy sigh*! These are so dreamy and delicious, Amber! Need to get me some of that liquid frisket! 🙂
Amber, this is so cool! But what about handwriting challenged gals like me? Can you use it to stamp???
Your cards are AMAZING!
Thanks as always for sharing

I am loving the new info you provide about the crafts, skill level, supply level, etc. Such great information. I am also loving the inspiration, especially this one. Bravo, girl!!
Awe shuckey duckey now! I’ve gotta order that on Amazon since I’m in the middle of another project. Thanks Amber for the enabling post! 😉
Great project Amber. So excited to try this product.
just ordered this with my amazon prime – woo hoo – i can start playing on wednesday!!! and i already have those stamps and watercolor paper – thanks for finding this – and making me spend more $$ 🙂
Such stunning stationery, Amber! Your handwriting really stands out with this technique. Appreciate the links to where to find all the supplies you use. Another fabulous class!
Beautiful! (However just a slight bit ahead of my “pay grade”) One day.
I actually received and cherish one of these cards from you – when I saw it I thought it was so beautiful and clever I wondered how you did it/now I know! And I have to get me some of that!!! Thanks for the tip and the beautiful card that graces my wall in my craft room!
Brilliant, absolutely. Have been to the Amazon store to purchase at once. THANK YOU, YOU ARE AMAZING.
Weird thing is I had a dream about liquid masking fluid! So happy that its real! Can’t wait try this out.
Whoo hoo…loving this. Such a cool technique.
Wonderful technique, Amber – CArds are beautiful! Funny, though – there must have been some subliminal messages going on – I was just thinking about this stuff – LOL
Genius!!!! thanks so much for sharing this awesome technique!!!
Neat concept. After watching your tutorial, I went and found my liquid frisket, applicators and watercolor paper. I’m waiting for the frisket to dry, and will lay some color on it. I’ll let you know how it came out.
Thanks for the inspiration,

Isn’t this stuff the best!!! You can even brush it on! We use to use this in art school!! I had forgotten the name of it but wanted to get it again. I bought something the sales girl said was definitely it…it wasn’t!! Thanks bunches for finding the correct goodie
Great card. Can’t wait to try this out.
Holy watercolor this is awesome!! I’m totally NOT crafty at all, but THIS…now this I can do! I have the perfect project for it too. Thank you so much for sharing this. I popped over to your blog via the blogger awards and I’m
So happy I did!
I’m so glad you did too!!! Always nice to hear from a new reader. Happy crafting, Shavonda!
Hi! Instead of using that frisket, you can use such a simple thing as a candle:) we used to do that in the kindergarden all the time:D but I think you have to use watercolours if you use a candle though, not sure
You can also use a white crayon or lemon juice(i think lemon juice, not sure) instead of the liquid frisket.
I can’t wait to try this out. I am so glad to have stumble d onto this site. How do I find you? Please let me know. I see you are a talented lady. God Bless
For the “hand-writing challenged” person–maybe you could use a stencil of each letter, and trace around it with the liquid frisket? Just a thought….
What the what?! This is awesome. Totally gonna add this to my MUST MAKE list! Thanks for sharing!
I will try this for Cristmas/holiday gifts. It looks easy…and fun. Thanks for the idea.
Welp, I know what I’m doing this weekend!
Just bought my supplies and can’t wait to get to crafting!
The paper peels when I remove the liquid frisket. I’ve tried using watercolor paper and smooth cardstock. Any suggestions?
Did you make the envelopes? Love the colors.
I have been looking everywhere on the web for the perfect way to apply masking fluid but sadly we don’t have anything quite the same here in HK….
On the one hand I cannot let the precious bottle cap keep opened the whole time, on the other hand it’s really hard to keep the fluid flowing and complete the stokes with a brush.
What’s up,I check your blog named “Liquid Frisket Stationery – Damask Love” like every week.Your story-telling style is awesome, keep up the good work! And you can look our website about proxy list.
Wow, what a fantastic discovery! Will definitely be trying this!
Oh my word!!!!!
LOVE THIS!!!!!!
?❤️?
Yeah, I totally have to try this. I have it in my Amazon wish list as we speak! Thanks for the tip!
