Before we begin, let me apologize for the mess you'll see in the photos...it's been crazy this month and cleanliness went OUT the door at some point...but I digress. This month, my Technique Tutorial is entitled...
Velveteen Stamping
Materials Needed
White or vanilla cardstock
White or vanilla pigment/craft ink (make sure it's the same color as the paper)
Bright colored inks (I've used 3)
A large "background" stamp
Bold solid image stamps
Old sock, dishtowel, piece of fabric--Something to daub with
Embellishments and other cardstocks to finish card
"How To"
1. Ink your background stamp up REALLY WELL with the white or vanilla ink. I mean REALLY WELL. Lay it on THICK. Place your paper over the inked image and rub the back to transfer your image. This assures you'll have an even and solid image.
2. Allow it to dry (I used a heat gun to help with this, but you could just walk away for a bit or work on something else for a little while). This is what it will look like. Isn't it pretty by itself?!

3. Stamp your bold colored images "randomly" (or maybe not so "randomly") onto your panel, daubing the images after each time you stamp. Make sure to daub, not rub, as the colored ink will smear and look a little fuzzy...in a bad way. Let's not ask how I know, ok?
4. Embellish your panel and add it to your project. (Click on the picture to see the effect better.)
So, how's THAT for an easy tutorial?! When I saw a card made with it, I was a little hesitant to try it, but I am so glad I did, because what a WOW effect from such an easy tutorial!!!
