I love creating cute, sweet cards & goodies for Halloween so I'm thrilled with the new Pretty Pink Posh release! And I'm honored they asked me to join in day 3 of their blog hop!
One of my favorite ways to create a colorful card that includes white images is with Glossy Accents masking! It's a perfect technique for the cutie pie ghosts from the PPP Ghost Friends set!
Here's the technique in a nutshell...
- stamp image you want to be white on white cardstock
- fill image with Glossy Accents & let dry completely
- add color with ink blending or watercoloring, etc.
- stamp images in waterproof ink to avoid the lines blurring & bleeding when you add Glossy Accents
- add any details (like pink cheeks) with alcohol markers or colored pencils before adding Glossy Accents
- use a craft pick to "erase" any wet Glossy Accents outside of the lines and to push/pull Glossy Accents into tight areas
- make sure Glossy Accents is really, really dry before adding color
Your next hop stop is Yoonsun's blog and I know she is going to knock your socks off! And here's the whole list in case you need it...
