GHOSTING IN THE SHADOWS TECHNIQUE?

[Kim Bridges]

I saw a really cool card in the gallery that use GHOSTING IN THE SHADOWS technique. Does anyone have the directions on how to do this? I would love to give it a try. Thanks in advance. - Kim

Never heard of it. Have you tried sending a PM to the person who uploaded the card?

GHOSTING - Resist 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.

Hi Pauline - if you go to gallery it will take you to names of stamp sets or on the home page you can click on "today's additions" and it will take you to items posted on that day. Hope this helps

I can't seem to do this. I have tried and tried. Any suggestions?

This doesn't seem to "work" for me - when using emb. ink - should it be colored? or clear (like versa mark?) Should the emb. ink be dry before you brayer over it? My brayer seemed to pick up wet ink and make a mess with it when I tried brayer-ing over top. Any hints or helps? I really like the finished look but it's just not "happenin' for me" yet....
