Learning how to stamp using a white crayon?
Yes, it's true!!! You can create something beautiful and unique just by using a white crayon! In this guide I hope to show you this technique and hopefully get you inspired to try for yourself.
First, stamp your desired stamp (one that you color in) into your favorite color PERMANENT ink. For my examples, I've just used black.
Next, stamp your inked image unto white glossy cardstock. Give plenty of time for it to dry before moving onto the next step.
Then, with your white crayoncolor the portions you want to remain white around the image or inside the image. It's up to you.
Now, you'll want to color in your image using markers or other such ink, making sure it's water-based.
Then, take a tissue and gently dab on areas where you colored with your crayon. Make sure to dab straight down and then straight up to avoid smearing. This is a very IMPORTANT step. Make sure you're very careful because if you smear the image, you've ruined the effect.
Finally, take your image and apply it to a card and add any embellishments you wish!
In these examples, due to the smallness of the picture, it's hard to see the effect. Picture #1 shows it best here. If you'd like to see some bigger pictures, please feel free to contact me so I can email them to you. Thanks for looking.
