Greetings! It's Tuesday so you've got Kathi here to share a project with you! This week my teammates and I are showcasing the wonderful and versatile VersaFine Clair™ Inks by Tsukineko®, which I love and adore. They colors are bright and vibrant and the inks blend beautifully. They're wonderful for stenciling and especially good for stamping detailed images and sentiments.
I decided to make a card using the inks several ways. Here's my steampunk themed card using Monarch, Charming Pink, Paradise, Green Oasis, Warm Breeze, and Nocturne VersaFine Clair™ Inks by Tsukineko®, the Steampunk Moon Cling Mounted Stamp Set by Indigo Blu, and the Steam Cogs Stencil #71 by AALL and Create.
Here it is!
The first thing I did was to use Nocturne VersaFine Clair™ Inks by Tsukineko® to stamp the moon and the earth cluster onto Bristol Paper and heat set with Silver Detail embossing powder. The next step was to stamp both images onto repositionable label paper, which was fussy-cut to create masks.
The masks were placed over their counterparts on the image panel. Charming Pink and Monarch VersaFine Clair™ Ink were sponged from the edges of the image panel and over the masked images using Blenders by Lavinia Stamps. Paradise VersaFine Clair™ Ink was then blended into the image panel until I was happy with the blending and the coverage.
A mini-mister was filled with 91% isopropyl alcohol and misted over the image panel. The alcohol reacts with the ink, leaving some splatters and splotches. *Be sure to have a window open as it's not a great idea to inhale the aerosolized alcohol ink.
Remove and reserve the masks. Use a clean cloth to remove the ink from the embossed images.
Smoosh the Monarch and Paradise VersaFine Clair™ Inks onto acetate, mist with alcohol, and use a Fantastix or a fine paint brush to color the holes in the cogs and the interior of the clock.
Smoosh Charming Pink, Green Oasis and Warm Breeze, and Green Oasis VersaFine Clair™ Inks onto acetate, mist with alcohol, and color the earth, the clock rim, and the little globes near the moon.
Use metallic watercolors to color the rest of the stamped images and a silver metallic pen to go over any highlights that need to be touched up.
Stamp the mini stars and bursts onto the image panel and heat set with Detail White embossing Powder.
Randomly stencil gears from the Steam Cogs Stencil #71 by AALL and Create using Monarch VersaFine Clair™ Ink.
Trim the image panel to 5.25" x 8.25" and edge with Monarch VersaFine Clair™ Ink and adhere to a white 5.5" x 8.5" card.
Use Nocturne VersaFine Clair™ Ink to stamp the sentiment onto vellum. Heat set with black detail embossing powder. Adhere double sided tape to the reverse of the vellum, then use a decorative die to cut the sentiment.
Adhere the sentiment die-cut to the background as shown. Add the gemstones to the finish the card.
