I have been totally binge watching YouTube craft shows. Do you remember the Carol Duvall Show on
DIY? I loved that show, well, anyway,
there was a Christmas Holiday Show & the guest demonstrated a background
technique using Puffy paint & reinkers.
You
place a large drop of Puffy paint in the middle of your cardstock & 1 drop
of stamp pad reinker ink. In my case it
was Navy. You take a brayer & roll
out the paint/ink all over the cardstock.
Using your embossing heat tool you quickly dry the paint/ink. The effect is supposed to be a foggy
background from the dry Puffy paint.
Of
course I couldn’t find my brayer, so I used a sponge paint brush to spread the
paint/ink over the cardstock & even though the effect didn’t quite look
like it did on the TV show, I still liked the effect it gave the backgrounds to
all 3 cards.
Because
the paint is wet on paper the cardstock did warp a bit, but I think if I ironed
the back of the card base it will straighten out. Gluing it on an A2 card will probably straighten
it out also.
Stamps I used:
Holiday Magic: On Dasher (A3445), Ice Skaters (F2280), Pine Forest (F3588), Sentiments Unmounted 3 (UMS7020
Happy Holidays: Getting the Tree (F3510), Pine Forest, Sentiments Unmounted 1 (UMS7018
Joy to the World: Holly Branch Sketch (G2632), Fiber Background (J2207), Sentiments Unmounted 3
