Ein Projekt aus unserer Live-Show CREATE AND CRAFT LIVE – Mit Helen Kirkham – Sendung vom 14. April · 14.04.2022 · ab 17:15 ansehen

The soft, aged aesthetic is created by using grey ink over coloured layers and adding mixed media elements like corrugated card.

Tipps aus der Show

• Watercolour card is dense, so you may need to send it through the die-cutter twice.
• Use grey ink instead of black for a more vintage, aged appearance.
• Let the tools do the work for you—less pressure when stamping gives better results.
