Pressure point
You’ll notice that Kitty has applied a combo of colouring and inking methods to bring her cards to life. Consider your hues carefully for dimensional accents with something as simple as shading. Whether you’re using a blending tool with distress oxide inks for your backgrounds or alcohol markers to colour in stamped motifs, it’s all in the amount of pressure you apply. Release for softer shades or press down harder for richer and more pigmented results.
Colour wash
Fancy something different to distress oxide inks? Give watercolours a whirl to add some subtle colour to your cards. Just a few washes can really boost your backgrounds – remember it doesn’t have to look perfect, that’s the beauty of the painterly style! Simply apply your chosen watercolour in horizontal strokes using a thick, flat paint brush. The more wishy washy the better in order to allow your vibrant digi stamps to really pop.
Cutting edge
Accuracy is key when it comes to trimming your digi stamps, which is why we recommend precision scissors for detailed or smaller designs such as the hearts. Leaving a narrow edge around the contour of your shape is perfectly fine, it actually gives a neat finish to the overall look. For the larger motifs and sentiments, Kitty has used basic shaped dies to cut them out. Why not play around with the shapes you already have in your stash?
