For this card, I took inspiration from Jennifer McGuire's stamping technique with white ink and die inks. What great ideas she has!
I took a petal stamp from Maile's Modern Basics set and layered Vintage Cream (PTI) with Hero Arts mid tone inks.
For the mid tone inks, I used red royal, charcoal, cup o' joe, wet cement and tide pool. I layered the smaller petals in die inks and then smallest polka dots in Vintage Cream.
I added the sentiment using Fresh ink in chocolate and then added platinum Liquid Pearls for a little bling.
I really like the idea for this card and will be trying it again - the look of white and light inks always looks so cool on dark card stock! And the layering reminds me of velveteen stamping which I have always loved. I tried it here and here ...
Supplies:
Paper: PTI Kraft
Ink: Hero Arts mid tone inks - tide pool, red royal, cup o' joe, wet cement; PTI Vintage Cream; Fresh chocolate
Stamps: PTI Modern Basics, Think Big
Misc: Platinum Liquid Pearls
