Passo dopo passo

1. Take a blending brush and load it with teal-coloured ink from a distress ink pad. ▶ watch 1:00
2. Create a halo effect around the outskirts of your white cardstock by blending the teal ink around the edges to soften the harsh edges. ▶ watch 1:15
3. Load your blending brush with a darker shade of similar colour and blend it around the outer edge to draw the eye towards the centre of the card. ▶ watch 1:45
4. Blend the second colour so it doesn't extend as far inward, creating a soft ombre halo effect. ▶ watch 2:15
5. Add a few drops of water onto the halo using a wet brush to bleach out the colour and create texture in the background. ▶ watch 3:00
6. Allow the water to activate the colour, then dry it off to lift out the colour and add dimension to the background. ▶ watch 3:30
7. Stamp the solid portion of the dress stamp onto your cardstock using the teal and darker shade colours, placing them in most areas and around the dress shape. ▶ watch 5:00
8. Spray water onto the inked cardstock to create a watercolour effect, allowing the ink to blend and disperse for a wet design appearance. ▶ watch 5:15
9. Allow the cardstock to absorb the ink, then remove the stamp to reveal the watercolour element of the design. ▶ watch 5:30
10. Position the detailed outline portion of the lamination stamp on top of the coloured dress and stamp it down, allowing the imprecise alignment to create a realistic artistic effect. ▶ watch 6:00

12. Mount the completed design onto a card base, pressing down firmly to secure it without leaving fingerprints. ▶ watch 8:15

Consigli dalla puntata

• Don't try to line up the two-part lamination stamps precisely; the imprecise alignment creates a beautiful realistic artistic effect.
• Use multiple colours such as red, pink, yellow and orange on the dress for a pretty watercolour appearance.
• You can add highlights to the hair with a white gel pen if you wish to be more artistic.
