Each month, we'll be bringing you a new technique to try. We'll also have several samples for you to see! Look to the bottom of this page for more samples.
Hope you're inspired!
Supplies:
- Bold lines and open area stamps
- Dark colour of archival ink
- 2 colours of dye ink-your choice
- Glossy white cardstock
- Any white crayon
- Stamping sponges
Step One:
Use the archival ink and stamp image on cardstock.
Step Two:
Heat set it to ensure ink is totally dried out before beginning next step.
Step Three:
Using crayon, colour any area(s) in image that you would like to highlight. Be careful not to colour over any of the archival ink.
Step Four:
With a stamping sponge, dab the first colour of ink onto cardstock over images as you wish.
Step Five:
Take second colour of contrasting ink and sponge onto card where you like. Experiment with lots more colours of ink.
Step Six:
Allow ink to dry completely.
Steps Seven:
Using a soft tissue, gently rub (in small circles) over areas where the white crayon was applied as this will remove the dye ink from the crayoned areas, creating the highlighted colour.
Step Eight:
Finish card as you wish.
