Technique Card - Dry Brushing with Craft Ink

Hey Crafty Friends!!! Sorry for taking so long to put up another post, things have been a bit whacky at the Peck household.  Today, I am sharing a technique card with video demonstration.  I used out White Craft ink to dry brush an embossed layer.  They I mixed a bit of WInk of Stella (for all my friends that love sparkle) with the craft ink and splattered it on.  My card is intended for an Autumn birthday, but it would work well as a Thanksgiving or Christmas card.  The ribbon I used on this card is retired, in my products list I will recommend a replacement.  


Card Details
  • Paper 
    • Mossy Meadow card base - 11" x 4 1/4",score & fold at 5 1/2"
    • Mossy Meadow embossed layer - 5 1/4" x 4"
    • Basic White scrap for die cut sentiment layer
  • Ink
    • White Craft Ink
    • Mossy Meadow
  • Other Stuff
    • Ribbon (retired) 
    • Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush 
    • White Craft Ink Refill

Love the outcome the black ink and embossing powder just melded together to make a unique dark gold color.

    • Early Espresso card base - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", score and fold at 4 1/4"
    • Mango Melody layer 3 3/4" x 4 1/2"
    • Brushed Metallic layer - 3 1/2' x 3 1/2"
