lift the ink

I am always inspired by other crafters and Christine has
inspired me to join up and play along at this challenge.
[CAS Christmas card Challenges]
Using a very old wood based stamp, lifting off the wood part,
[it almost fell apart so it's obviously an old one..]
and place a backing onto it so I could stamp in my Misti.

 Yupo, alcohol inks, stamp and alcohol lift ink were used,
along with dies and sequins.
After you 'lift' the stamp, you can then use the stamp again
with the alcohol ink on it onto another piece of paper like so.. fussy cut
or use on another card.  No waste of the ink at all.

My card...

 

[thanks to Loll for the hint for the snow on yupo paper]

Inside using the 'scrap' leftover die cuts

Challenge:


HLS Christmas and add some sequins

I've never seen Yupo paper and never heard of your technique before, but I certainly liked how this turned out. I was especially impressed because I always send cards or tip-ins at Christmas that have trees on them.

Loll said...

WOW!! AMAZING card using the alcohol lift ink Annie! Your AI background is gorgeous with the bright mix of colours and the tree really shows up well with the ink removed. Also great to get a twofer with your stamped tree to use on another project! Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Christmas!
