Black Ice

Whats that??? I hear you shout, good question.. Its the new technique that seems everyone is doing at the moment. So I did a bit of research on that famous You tube, then went and practised. 

It is a bit messy. I have to state that up front. Although if I stuck the card I was working on, to my grid paper I got a much better coverage. It only works with the black archival ink, and  you do need some pressure on the versamark to get an evenish (is that a word?) coverage. I used a heat tool between each layer to ensure that the ink was dry before starting on the next step.

I am still investigating which stamps this works really well with. So far I have used all the Lovely as a tree stamps and these are the best two.

I think with the next set I try I will make a little video so pop back and have a look this time next week. I really like the first one which I used the champagne foil for, it gives the card a sort of sepia look. 

I will be using this technique for my class on Wednesday. This is a monthly class for experienced crafters.
