A Little Creative Experiment

Hello.
Today I decided to have a go at the 'faux cyanotype' technique, which is a bit brave for someone like me, who isn't inky  - or arty.  :o)
I'll be honest - it was a bit tricky and not totally successful, but it was definitely fun to try something so different.


I started by inking up my background with distress ink, and then adding the stamping - some in white ink and some using the same distress ink. Sounds easy, right?

If you want to see how it's really done check out the amazing cards over at Group of Cardmakers
where they've also included the links to a couple of technique videos.


  • ranger distress ink - salty ocean
  • hobbycraft white ink
  • wplus9 - winter woodland/feathers and florals/heartfelt holiday
  • winnie and walter - big bang confetti
  • mft - stitched square die
