Sometimes, I get on a kick--I have been frustrated with my lack-luster ink blending skillz, so I keep trying. I'm nothin' if not persistent, eh?!
Now who wouldn't want a mondo rainbow colored diamond, I ask you???
I wanted to create a randomly patterned background of gemstones for this card using all the gem images in the set-- a little planning + a big acrylic block worked spiffy! AND, I borrowed a trick I've seen my friend Nichol Magouirk do with heat embossing, to pull that off--so simple, and smart! *smacks forehead*
TIPS TO NOTE:
- Try clustering smaller images together at the same time on one block for a DIY random background
- If you have trouble seeing what you've stamped with Versamark, apply embossing powder to the image, tap off excess and you will be able to see where to stamp again
- To blend ink more smoothly, begin on your craft sheet with a circular motion and then move onto the paper
- Leave your die cut inside the negative while sponging/blending ink over top, to avoid catching the edges with your blending tool
