OH, HELLO - Masking Technique

I love this background paper that is a piece of designer paper from Pam.  I just added a ribbon and a sentiment on top of the paper.  It turned out a beautiful card as it is. 

 

For the sentiment, I stamped it and heat embossed in black color first.  I punched out an oval circle and used the negative side as a mask.  I stamped the background on top of the mask then sponged it softly.  It made a nice frame for the sentiment.
