Step1 Emboss
- I stamped the line images from Secret Garden (Stampin’Up!) in VersaMark,
- then embossed with White embossing powder.
- Add a little White Craft Ink Refill onto a Plastic Palette. I used the lid of an embellishment container.
- Fill an Aqua Painter with water, then squeese a few drops of water onto the ink to thin it.
Step 2 White Wash
- Use the Aqua painter to paint a thin layer of White Craft Ink over the top of your embossed image.
-
Let it dry Completely. If necessary use the low setting on your heat tool.
-
With your ink pad closed, squeeze your ink pad together to transfer some ink from your pad to the Lid.
-
Now you can use it as a palette…TIP:Firm Foam ink pads will transfer lots of ink, but the old felt style may not Transfer as easily. Just add a few drops from your ink refill onto the lid instead.
Step 3 Color
- Use blender pens to pick up the ink from the palette and color in the Image
- I like to create shading for depth. I do this by laying down color on one side, then blending it out to the other side.
- I’ve worked from the left side of the petal to right on this image. You could also work from the center of the flower outward.
- Generally, always start with thin light layers of color and add darker areas of color for shading.
