Inkssentials white pen

Method

Spray a manila tag with Dylusions Squeezed Orange and Pure Sunshine inks.


Lay the dotted flower stencil over the tag and spritz with water.


Blot with kitchen roll to reveal the ghosted image.


Ink up the Toadstool stamp with black archival ink and stamp onto tag.


Stamp the image onto scrap paper and carefully cut out. Place the scrap over the stamped image, this will act as a mask.


Ink the toadstool stamp back up and stamp again, leaving the paper in place.


Repeat stamping until happy.


Ink up the frog stamp and stamp over the paper.


Ink up the solid leaf stamp with black and stamp around top of tag.


Your tag should now look like this.
