This week over at
Papertrey it is all about Velveteen stamping - layering white or cream pigment ink with another (usually dye). I forgot about using dye ink for the second layer but have done it in the past with two pigment inks and it works beautifully. I love the subtle texture that seems to pop out from the white ink layer!
I used
Colorbox Frost White Ink on a piece of Recollections 110lb white card stock - this stuff rocks! It is nice and sturdy and has a smooth finish. I waited for a 50% coupon to buy some since the Canadian prices are already so elevated. I am so glad I took a crafty friend's advice - SO worth it! :)
The white layer is PTI's Houndstooth - it leaves a gorgeous pattern on the Lovely Layers flowers stamped in Fresh Navy, Fresh Lilac and Steel Blue. The final touch was the sentiment from Sketched Shapes. I withheld my impulse to add gems, rhinestones, Stickles or sequins ... truly one layer! :)
Have you tried this technique? Link up so I can see your creation!
