The basic idea is similar to polished stone, where you pounce different colors of alcohol inks and alcohol onto glossy paper, but in this technique, you use vellum instead. I used vellum c/stock from Stampin' Up!, which is more sturdy than regular vellum paper.
Once the inks were dry, I brayed black Stazon onto the David stamp and stamped onto the vellum. It was layered it onto a dictionary page, then black and white c/stock.
I'm not quite sure who I'd send this card to, so he might keep me company in my studio for a while.
Have a splendid weekend!
Supplies:
- Stamps: Artful Artifacts (Stampers Anonymous)
- Paper: More mustard, whisper white, basic black and vellum c/stock, dictionary page
- Ink: Black Stazon, alcohol inks
- Accessories: Word stick (Ideology), black embroidery floss
