Technique and Fun Fold Card

Hi and welcome to my blog. I have a fun fold card to show you today and a technique I have been enjoying lately. I did this technique many years ago, but I have recently seen it, so I tried it again. First you stamp the image, color in the whole image using a white colored pencil and then sponge colors over it. Wipe off the excess ink on the image with a paper towel. The white pencil acts as a resist. I like the artsy effect of this technique. I am not one who likes to color a lot either, so this is a good way to color without me having to think about blending colors, etc.


Stamps:  Pretty Perch - Penny Black
               Sayings - Birthday Wish - Stampendous
Distress Inks:  Shaded Lilac and Kitsch Pink

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!

I would like to enter this card into these challenges.

Double D:  Birds

  1. Oh April, this is so, so pretty! LOVE the fancy fold and the technique is awesome! Is that embossing I see on the inside? if so, don't forget we have an embossing folder challenge blog also ... called Can You Handle the Pressure. A new challenge begins there tomorrow. Just wanted to let you know this for future reference.

    Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Double D challenge! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.

  2. It sure was a neat design and like how you can control where the highlights to the stamp may be. Neat idea to use an emboss piece on the inside!
