Greetings!
This past week I had my mom with me for a few days and we almost always make time to do some stamping together. One of the sets she really loves is the Quiet Meadow stamp set so it made the choice of which stamp set to work with an easy one. I love the versatility of this set as well as the beautiful sentiments it includes. The flowering plant stamp is the perfect size as a focal point and I decided to stamp it using the White Craft Ink. It's been awhile since I've used this ink and I love it for the subtlety it gives to an image; a chalky look.
When deciding which color to stamp onto I knew I wanted to select a somewhat darker cardstock to showcase the white stamp. After choosing Misty Moonlight cardstock for a nice contrast I opted for the Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Papers (DSP) for the background layers. These papers have a wonderful variety of colors and even though daisies are a bit out of season this time of year, the Wild Wheat and Boho Blue prints bring the lovely colors of fall into full bloom.
If White Craft Ink is new to you, I encourage you to give it a try! It's beautiful just like it's stamped on this card to give a subtle, chalky look to an image. Craft ink is a pigment ink, so it takes awhile to dry as it is much creamier than the watercolor inks. Craft ink is easy to use for heat embossing because you simply have to sprinkle the embossing powder onto the stamped image and heat set it. No Versamark is necessary. White Craft Ink is also a great option for stamping an image and then coloring it in with the Watercolor Pencils for a soft look to your card. These are just a few of the ways you can expand your creativity by adding White Craft Ink to your product selection.
