I stumbled across a technique which sent me scurrying for my white ink pad. Now, the term used was 'ghost stamping', although I do know that can also be applied to stamping using Versamark as a 'resist technique' before brayering colour over. So I'm not sure which is really correct, but this was the result, and can I please be allowed to say I was delighted with the outcome? :)
I used:
- 4.75" x 4.75" cream card stock
- snippets of SU's 'Soft Suede' card stock
- a snippet of SU's 'Baja Breeze' card stock, embossed using SU's 'Square Lattice' embossing folder
- the image (a flower and stem from SU's 'Everything Eleanor' set) was stamped using a StazOn Cotton White ink pad first and then the image was repeated, just slightly 'off' using a Dewdrop 'Teal Zeal' ink pad
- sentiment is also SU, from the 'A Word for You' set, stamped using SU's 'Melon Mambo'
- three baby blue pearls, which look almost white in the piccie I see, added to the bottom left corner to finish off
NB - There's news of Bernie in the post below!

Such an effective technique. I love the colours you've used x
ReplyDeleteWhen Soft Suede came out, I hated it! It reminded me of a dirty diaper! It has grown on me through the years and now I find myself liking it a lot. (And I'm still dealing with diapers.) It's really pretty with the Baja embossing and the "ghost" flower is so pretty! Card off to Bernie. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely Di...will be having a go at this technique myself! Beautiful!
