• Bamboo Beauty & the Ink Swipe Technique

  June 21, 2021

  ---

  I created this striking card for a swap I participated in with some of my Demonstrator leader friends.  I wanted to highlight the beautiful Bamboo Beauty stamp set. 

  Save

  I decided to create a bold background effect by swiping ink pads directly across my Basic White CS.  Each one turned out totally different! 

  Save

  I chose to use these colors from top to bottom – Pale Papaya, Mango Melody, Flirty Flamingo & Calypso Coral. Depending on how well inked your pads are you can get a variety of hues.  After I swiped the darker colors I used the Pale Papaya over it all to blend and soften the colors together.  

  Save

  My measurements for this card are as follows:

  • So Saffron card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4"
  • White (before swiping) 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" 
  • Black 3 5/8" X 4 7/8"

  I hope you try this technique; it's so fun!  I shared this technique using glossy paper in a video a few years ago.  Here's a link to it.

  Here's a closer view one card. I love how the solid images stamp with multiple hues of color without any effort!  It may look like my ink pad wasn't inked enough but this is on purpose. These Distinctive stamps are wonderful and provide a lot of dimension effortlessly!

  Which do you prefer?  Pale Papaya or Fresh Freesia?

  There are so many possibilities with this set; I just scratched the surface! Click here to see it in my store.
