Techniques with White Ink - Emboss Resist on Coloured Card

  There are several great techniques using White Pigment Ink.

At a recent event I demonstrated a few of them including: ( well it's a while ago now!)

    *Direct stamping with White onto coloured cardstock

    *Offset stamping

    *Bokeh technique

    *Painting with White Ink

    *Emboss Resist

It has taken me a while to share these samples, I'll post them over a few days. I hope you give some of these techniques a try.

So this is a bit of a different approach to Emboss Resist. Often it is done with White, or Metallic , or Black and then coloured ink is blended over the embossing to make the stamped image jump forward. ( usually on a neutral cardbase )

This technique uses a different approach.

Step 1. I stamped the leaves (from Changing Leaves) with Versamark and then used Clear Embossing Powder. When heat set the image take on a much deeper tone of the base coloured card. Stamp plenty of images to create a background pattern.

Step 2.  Blend a little coloured ink over some areas, and then blended White Ink in other areas to cover the card. The overall patterned piece is quite effective. For this sample I white heat embossed the sentiment (from Kindest Expressions), and die cut some leaves in Glimmer paper to match. It was a graduation card for our son so I made a wee Mortar Board and tassel. 

I loved this technique which I had never tried before. I will be doing it again sometime soon.

Such a lot of fun techniques.  Get messy and give some a try!

I hope you have a creative week and remember,
