Ink On 3 - Silhouette Your Stamp

 

Dear Ones~
It is my honor once again to be guest designing for a fabulous company named Ink On 3. This is a wonderful company that offers inks, stamps, dies, stencils, even svg files, and more. Swing on over and check them out. You won't be sorry.
 
Today I want you to use your stamps in a different way. Did you know you can make them into a silhouette? Here's my card:

 
 
 
To begin, I made an interesting background by masking off a piece of card stock and sponging various inks using a piece of plastic so that I could get a defining edge. Here I used Ink On 3 Peacock Blue, Marilyn Red and My Jam Purple.
 

 

 


 

 

 

 Here is how it looks when completed.

 

 




 
 
 
 
Next I stamped the Koi fish from the Koi Pond stamp set onto my sponged background using my MISTI.




 
 
 
 
 
Then I colored the fish in with my black Copic Marker. And voile, a silhouette.











 
 
 
 
For a final touch, I added some embellishments with black and white markers. Then I stamped the Hugs greeting with a stamp from the Fox and Bunny Hugs stamp set. I also attached a few gems from Trinity Stamps called Bubble Blower.











I would invite you to hop on over to the Ink On 3 website and take a look at all the wonderful products offered there. And thanks for stopping by. As always, I adore your comments.

Until next time, here's celebrating your Creative Muse!!!💗
