Greetings, Stampers, and a Happy Monday to you! The weather was fabulous here in New York this past weekend, and I spent a lot of time out doors. I just love spring, and spring must have been on my mind when I designed this card. I used the Magic Re-Inker Technique, which I learned from a fellow Stampin Up Demonstrator. This technique uses Ink Refills and water on glossy paper to create coloring that appears as
though it was tie-died.
This is how it's done: First, stamp flower images onto
Glossy White Card Stock with Versamark Ink, and heat emboss with White Embossing
Powder. Place on a plastic plate and spritz generously with water. Put a drop of
Pink Pirouette and Calypso Coral Inks onto the lids of coordinating ink pads. Using dry Aqua
Painter, pick up a little of the lighter ink. Touch the middle of the flower
and allow the ink to run. After you have achieved the coverage you want, dip
the Aqua Painter into darker ink. Touch the center of the flower and allow it
to run. When image is to your liking, allow to dry overnight or set with the
Heat Tool. Cut out flowers. Such a simple technique, but what an impact!
