Papertrey Make It Monday: Coloring with White Ink

I can hardly believe that I created 3 cards today!! I guess it's repressed mojo from during the work week! I was super fortunate to have the opportunity to play today. :D

Normally, I would space out my card posts but I was concerned about challenge entry deadlines. Plus, I was just too eager to share!

Heather Nichols demonstrated how to color using white ink at this week's Papertrey Make It Monday challenge. I immediately thought of Nichole's beautiful dandelions here (first card). I immediately set out to do something similar with the gorgeous dandelions in Botanical Silhouettes (PTI's 4th Anniversary set).


After embossing Labels 17, I left the die in place for stamping (with a bit of masking for the grass). I used Versamark ink and heat embossed the image with clear powder and the sentiment in white powder. I continued to hold the die in place while I used ink blending foam to whiten up around the frame. Lastly, I used a Q-tip to apply some white ink to the dandelions, using the reverse end of the Q-tip to carefully dab away the excess.

*sigh* I love it!

This card bears a remarkable resemblance to the card I did here.

Thanks for stopping by!

Very nice. Really looks like separate layers with the coloring you did around the die.
