Stampin' Up! Creative Challenge: Combine Two Coloring Techniques

 

Creative Challenge: Combine Two Coloring Techniques

Challenge your customers to stretch their creative skills by combining two coloring techniques on a single project—just like we did with the Love You Lots card. We used a Stampin’ Brayer to add Fresh Freesia ink to the card base, then created a circle stencil with a Stylish Shapes Die and applied a thin layer of un-inked Embossing Paste over the stencil. Keeping the paste thin allowed the ink beneath to show through for a soft wash of color. Invite customers to try their own technique combos and share their results!
