Technique Club this month was focused around Glossy Cardstock and some of the techniques that can be done using it. This was the first card that we did using a technique called "Ghosting". I was amazed at the difference in using a brayer on Glossy cardstock, it is so much easier.
Technique:
- Stamp Glossy Cardstock with Background Stamp (I used the Sanded background in Always Artichoke)
- Stamp the image that you would like in the background ( I used the leaves from the Le Jardin Botanique set) using Versamark. *it's super hard to see so make sure to have a plan for your layout
- Using a Brayer, roll your ink over the entire piece of glossy CS (I used Mellow Moss)
The Versamark ink works like a resist to prevent the ink on the brayer from adhering to the card.
WOW - I LOVE this card!!!
ReplyDeleteAnge, did we use classic ink or craft ink when we used the brayer? I couldn't remember. Thanks. Love, love, loved this project.
