Ink Blending Tool - # 1 - Edging Examples

Here are some finished examples of the Edging Techniques.

Spring

Shadow FX were used on the scallop edge on the background paper.
Ink & Drag FX were used on the pink piece of cardstock. You can see how varying amounts of ink will yield longer and shorter drag marks.



Happy Easter Egg
The edge of the Easter egg was shaded using the HD Shadow FX.
Notice how this technique gives the illusion that the center of the egg is highlighted when in reality the edges were just given additional color. This technique is perfect when you want to showcase a stamped image, saying, etc.


Happy Easter Bunny
The card base was inked using the Aged Inks FX. Heavily distressed and very vintage. This technique lends it's self quite well to the German Scrap Easter Bunny ATC (removable).
The ATC's edges were colored using the Ink & Drag FX.
Though most of it was covered by the Dresden Trim it still visible in person.





So there you have some examples of finished cards to get you on your Edging FX way!
Have fun and go get inky :)

    The rabbit stamps are from The Angel Company but they are retired. You may be able to find them on E-bay though...I know alot of people have had luck finding retired sets there.
