JUST ONE STAMP - FREYJA LEE

I thought you'd like to see more of Freyja's cards - and found some using the same stamp but with very different results. Just shows what a change of ink can do!

MONOPRINTING

A quick & easy method for monoprinting is to use a plastic page protector (cut round the sides, leaving just one side hinged) or two pieces of acetate. Using re-inkers, squirt a few drops of ink onto one side of the page protector or acetate, then place the other piece on top. Press lightly to spread the inks around, then open up again. Place two pieces of card (glossy is great) back-to-back, shiny sides out, onto one inked surface. Close the page protector, or place the other piece of acetate ink side down, so the card is sandwiched in between the inked surfaces. Press lightly, then remove. That's your monoprint background!

Freyja says:

This card uses only Brilliance inks.
Make a panel with gold, copper and silver Brilliance re-inkers.
Stamp the image with black ink in the centre and cut closely around adding a similar black layer, before stamping (brown ink) with suitable elements and attaching to the rest of the background, tearing the outside edge.
The background is taupe coloured main card stamped with various images from the NonSequitur 50C plate with brown ink and edged with a Copper Krylon Pen.
Add a piece of string or raffia.

Layer as shown onto a rusty red main card.

RESIST

Another great effect: stamp your image once onto white card (Versamark or clear pigment ink) and allow to dry (or use a heat gun). Glossy card or matte clay-coated card works best. Once dry, swipe over or brayer over with inks - the stamped image will resist the colour and show through as a ghosting effect. Stamp again with your chosen image in the ink of your choice.
