Versamark and Inks Brayered Backgrounds
<<back
This is a technique that I may have invented! I can't be sure that no-one else has already done it but I haven't seen it anywhere. It came about when I wanted to create some backgrounds to use with my stampscapes stamps. I've seen some beauties done with distress inks and alcohol inks but despite having enough stash to keep a small craft shop in business for several months, at the time I didn't have either in my stash so I decided to have a play around and see what I could come up with and the result was this:
1. Using a brayer, cover a piece of glossy or semi glossy card evenly with versamark ink.
2. Add the ink colours of your choice. I've found that dye inks or chalk inks work best for this technique.
3. When you have all the colours you want for your project you can use a sponge to move and blend the colours to get the effect you want. The versamark keeps the ink workable for quite a while on these types of card so you will then need to leave it to dry or use a heat tool to dry it off before stamping on it.
4. At this point you can add more colour if you wish in specific places.
The finished card.
