Good morning, happy Friday. I hope you enjoyed Lisa & Sue's demoes of all the great Imagination Crafts' products on Create & Craft yesterday.
My card today shows you another simple background technique, using both dye & pigment inks.....
I randomly stamped onto watercolour card with Versacolor white ink on the Penny Black Breezy stamp. I applied a lot of ink to the stamp & applied less pressure in some areas in an attempt to get some texture....................
After drying the ink I applied Pool, Sunshine Yellow & Sunset Orange Adirondack inks with a blending tool, then I used a waterbrush remove the ink from the white leaves...........
(All Adirondack inks are currently 40% off in the MEGA SALE)
I applied Pool ink through the TCW Chicken Wire Reverse stencil..................
The word 'love' is from the TCW Live, Laugh, Love stencil, applied with Black Soot DI & the word 'with ' is from a small alphabet stamp set in my stash. The stamping is from the Hobby Art
Decorative Backgrounds stamp set..............
The finished card again.............
I like the faded appearance of the leaves, it's a change from the crisp appearance of heat embossing.
Thanks for stopping by the blog today, have a great weekend.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous colours and the little pearls are just perfect in the centre of the stamped flowers.
ReplyDeleteOh my I love that! I will have to try that technique of heavily inking a stamp, never heard of that one! I love the slight ghosting effect it adds to the background - brilliant! Thanks for the chance and the awesome inspiration Karen x
