Default Ghosting how do you do it?

Laura,

Someone at SCS took a great deal of time to compile a list of techniques. I apologize that I don't have their name to give them credit. Here are the directions to the Ghosting Technique that was in that extensive list.

Ghosting Technique - Without Embossing

Rubber Stamps * Ultrasmooth White Cardstock * Brayer * Embossing Ink
* Single Color Dye-Based Ink Pad.

1. Find a stamp image of swirls, snowflakes, bold images or shadow like images, etc.)
2. Ink the stamp with embossing ink & stamp with it. Do this several times on the card.
3. Do not apply embossing powder or heat.
4. Ink the brayer with the single color dye-based ink pad, then roll it over the card. The embossing ink acts as a resist, the images will appear as more color is applied.
5. You can leave this as is or this can be stamped or embossed in a complementary or contrasting color.

HTH
