Happy FRIDAY Everyone!!!
YAHOOO!!!!!!!
It's Ink Stained Card Sketch day and I really love the sketch for today ~ it looks simple but you could do so many fun things with it....
Here is the sketch ~
Now I was thinking about variations for this sketch and here were a few ideas I came up with...
*Stamp each section to create your own coordinating pattern paper.
*Stamp the same design using 3 shades of the same color (Adirondack Inks are excellent for this since they come with 3 coordinating shades!)
*Use a different technique on each section ~ ex. You might use Parched Pigments for the large piece, stamp the sentiment using the Stamped on Gesso technique and Joseph's Coat technique for the main image.
*Work off a specific theme ~ for example, if you were interested in making a dad's day card and your theme was fishing you could use say a fishing lure stamped repeatedly for the background, a fishing related sentiment stamped once in black then stamped repeatedly with embossing ink (for a watermark look) on the rest of the paper, and finally stamp a giant fish for the main image or find a cool fish collage image to add to the main image.
Just a few thoughts to get your creative juices flowing!!
Hope you get some time to play this weekend!
I'm going to try to have a few examples of the sketch up tomorrow and be sure to check back on Sunday for another installment of vintage/retro/modern postcards!
Till then friends ~
Ink On my friends Ink On!!!
