There are times I like to color and others that I don't. I came up with this cool technique using the Wink of Stella pen and White Craft ink to highlight my main image.
I pressed a clear block directly onto my White Craft ink pad and used that to pick up the ink with my Wink of Stella pen. You sure don't have to use a clear block but I didn't want to get Wink of Stella in my ink pad. You could use a paper plate or any other non porous surface.
I used Purple Posy, Pool Party and Seaside Spray on the cards below.
Technique tips:
- Light colored card stock works best here; the White ink can obscure the stamped image on dark card stock.
- Squeeze out a bit of the Wink of Stella liquid to make a small puddle to mix with the White ink for easier painting.
- Paint the image once and go back and highlight parts of it if you want more 'lightness'.
- Black Memento ink works fine to stamp your image
- This should work nicely on a heat embossed image!
- You can use the White Craft ink refill instead of an ink pad but a little drop goes a long way!
I also used Versamark to create a background effect on the card base, stamping the main image multiple times. I love how soft a Versamark background is and I don't use it near enough. This repetitive stamping could be very busy if done in black or a darker color.
