The Tape Ink Transfer Technique was one I used last month for
the 2014 Technique Calender - March calendar page.
I had so much fun with it I thought it would be fun to make a few more cards with it to show it's versatility.
Today's card is a Valentine's Day card using a few colors of Archival Ink -
Rose Madder, Magenta Hue & Red Geranium.
Supplies:
Masking, Washi or Decorative Tape
Ink Pads
Cardstock
Embellishments & Stamps to finish off your card
Instructions:
1. Peel off one or more pieces of tape that you will use to transfer the ink to the cardstock. I am using a Decorative Masking tape from Scotch Brand Tape.
2. Take a piece of tape and press the sticky side of the tape into the ink pad so the tape picks up the ink. It doesn't have to have complete coverage...I think it produces a vintage/distressed feel when you have a sketchy looking strip of ink. It reminds me of when you are painting a wall ~ that first or second strip of the roller brush. I love it!
3. Carefully place the tape on the cardstock where desired. Lightly press the tape on the cardstock to ensure full contact with the paper. Gently lift the tape off the cardstock to reveal the transferred ink design.
Here is my piece of cardstock after all three colors have been transferred to the paper.
4. You can finish off your card as desired. Since I wanted to make a Valentine's Day card I used this vintage looking heart from Just For Fun stamps.
And here's the finished card...

I simply love this technique...
I'm sure you'll see more of it from me in the future :)
Stay Inky Friends!!!
