S is for Soot Stamping

I am back again with another card for my alphabet series and the letter is S. I used a technique called soot stamping on this card. I found that you have to be very careful because you are using an open flame to do this! First I sponged some colors on a piece of white card stock. Next I moved the card around over top of a candle flame. You begin to get some black areas over the sponged card, but you will also see some of the colors coming through. I took a butterfly stamp, and without using any ink, I randomly stamped over the whole card, wiping off the soot that got on the stamp between each time I stamped. The stamp was lifting off the soot and leaving the print of the butterfly. This makes a lovely ghost effect. Afterwards the card will need to be sealed with some kind of spray so that the soot does not not come off. I just used hairspray.
