The Owl and the Oracle
Today we are exploring the use of Yupo card in conjunction with the Lavinia “Pure” brand of Alcohol Inks, to create a colourful background that can be “printed” onto Multifarious card using Alcohol Lift ink.
This method combines the blending characteristics of these inks when applied to the non-porous Yupo, with the clarity that can be achieved by stamping with Versafine Clair ink onto Multifarious card.
Fairy Buds
One of our newly-stocked Frisk masking products, the Fineliner, was utilised to create the background grasses for this card. By preventing the diluted Brushos from getting to parts of the card, fine white lines are revealed once the mask is peeled off. Our Fairy Buds stamps and a selection of mini foliage stamps, complete the picture.
