Stamping Dreams Blog Hop - Throwback Thursday - Ink Swiping!!!

Hey Crafty Friends!!  I am so excited about this Throwback Thursday blog hop, where the task is to recreate an old project.  So I reached back to July 10, 2017 and found a favorite that I wanted to remake.  The technique is called, Ink Swiping, and I first learned about it on a blog post by Kim Jolley - a wonderful artist.  This technique is not for everyone, but had fun playing with it and I suggest you give it a try.

Original card posted July 10, 2017


Here is my stepped up version. 
  • Used blender brush to add Petal Pink ink around the edges of white cardstock blending to center to tone down the bright white. 
  • Splattered ink with Petal Pink, Mango Melody and Soft Succulent Stampin' Write Markers. 
  • For leaves, I created a second ink swiping keeping swipes close together, then blended on some Petal Pink ink to tone down white.  Die cut with Chic Dies leaf die. 
  • Stamped off Petal Pink ink splatter stamped on top of sentiment.
