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,

New In colour 2025-2027 cards and the FABULOUS Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape.

Don't you love it when a single product creates enough elements to decorate a bunch of cards at one time? The Extraordinary Flora Washi tape is one of those products. I created these for my upcoming Catalogue Launch. I put the Washi onto Basic Beige to cut these flowers and love how it coordinates with the Basic Beige card base. To create these cards I trimmed 2.5cm from the front edge and adhered a 3.5cm strip of DSP to the inside of the card to give an added layer. These were easy to put together. Darling Duckling Secret Sea Strawberry Slush Timid Tiger Cloud Clover June 3 - 30 Stampin Up has an amazing offer where you can get 50% off any second product from a suite. So for example if you were to purchase the Extraordinary Flora Die you would be able to buy the tape at 50% off. Please reach out if you want more information on this great deal. You can see all the available suites in my online store. I am loving all the new colours.  I hope you have a creative week and remember,...

GDP #277 a gorgeous colour combination with Pretty Perennials

The Pretty Perennials Stampset is gorgeous to use on its own but the floral dies really do add a little something special. My card this week matches the colour challenge at the Global Design Project. I have stamped directly onto the Oh so Ombre DSP which is a free Sale A Bration item with a qualifying purchase for the rest of this month. I love the tone on tone stamping for added depth. I have gone over the Happy with Wink of Stella but it's not easy to photograph. The teeny heart is a teeny leftover of some retired Blushing Bride Glimmer paper and I have also incorporated other retired embellishments like the library clip and crystal button - I do love to use them up. Pink and florals - a perfect match. Here's what I used.

CTC#48 Who doesn't love new DSP

Welcome back to CASEing the Catty for this round. You may have come from Rachel's beautiful project  or you maybe starting here. There are lots of great posts to visit. This week we are using new Designer Series paper from the Holiday Catalogue - and who doesn't love a pack of new paper? The problem of course is which one to choose.... followed by the problem of actually having to CUT into a pristine pack. ....I know you all know what I mean. I have lots of photos for you today to try and show off some of the designs, but it's not easy to capture and they always look so much better in real life. I have purchased two packs - the Happy Haunting pack on page 47, which I was inspired to get purely from the background piece on the Lighthearted Leaves card on page 44. I don't celebrate Halloween, nor am I usually all that partial to Orange shades, but maybe that's changing! because I really like the designs. The pack has several papers that are specifically...
