Papertrey
Ink Design Team Member Heather Nichols published a "Batik On Paper"
technique recently and I had a lot of fun playing with the idea. It basically involves clear-embossing solid
images onto your cardstock, and then folding the heck out of it, coming in at
all angles.
This
cracks the embossing and gets you ready for the next step . . .
Rubbing
firmly, swirl on your choice of dye ink colors and make sure the inks get into
all of the cracked embossing. When done,
use a paper towel to wipe off ink from the embossed surfaces. You can quit now, or as I did, you can put
the cardstock between two clean sheets of typing paper and iron off the
embossing. Batik is a hand-crafted look
that I think goes well with plain un-embossed cardstock. But I like a little glimmer, so I left a
little of the sheen in place and even added some Wink of Stella and a few
raindrops made with Glossy Accents.
