I have a simple and beautiful technique to share today. It is painting with the White Craft Ink of the beautiful Flowing Flowers stamp.
I CASEd this idea from one of my downline, Deirdre Reilly. And I mean I really CASEd the layout, technique, etc. I did use a different flower and colors! Thank You Deirdre!!
Stamps and Technique
The stamp set I used, and really it is only one stamp from the set, is the Flowing Flowers set. These are beautiful flowers with the “splatter” built in to the stamp. And I stamped the image all over the card base and then twice on the focal layer. It is stamped in Night of Navy Ink on both the Night of Navy card base and the Misty Moonlight focal layer.
For the technique, I used the White Craft Ink and a Blender Pen. By lightly touching the Blender Pen to the corner of the ink pad, you are able to pick up a bit of ink. Also it is always best to start out light. You can go back to darken the White, but you cannot remove it. This step was repeated many times until I had the amount of White colored in that I liked. Easy Peasy!!
Dies, Colors, and Embellishments
As I mentioned above, the colors were Night of Navy and Misty Moonlight. Because of the White Ink addition, I wanted to add a White layer. And the Scallops from the Scalloped Contours Dies was the perfect choice. I used the 2nd Largest die. To continue the stitching on the focal layer of Misty Moonlight , it is cut using the Rectangle Stitched Dies. I used the 4th Largest die for this one.
The finishing touches are the White Baker’s Twine wrapped around a couple of times. And then a multi-strand bow is tied and added on with a Glue Dot. For the final touch I chose the Blue Adhesive Back Gems.
