Ghosting Technique Gingerbread Card
Hello everyone! Ghosting Technique was one of the first techniques that I learned and today I am sharing with you a Ghosting Technique Gingerbread Card that I made using our Imagine Inks.
To realize this technique you only need glossy card stock and VersaMark Ink to stamp the ghost image. In my project I am using a Chevron Background from Recollections, but let me show you the process:
First, take a piece of white glossy card stock, ink well your stamp or stamps with VersaMark Ink and stamp directly over the glossy face and set this piece aside for a few minutes so the in can dry well. If you are thinking of using photo paper, the results are not the same. With this type of paper, the stamped image will be blurry.
In a separate piece of paper, stamp the images that you want to use to decorate your card. I used a gingerbread image from a Stampin Up Set. I stamped the images with Memento Luxe Peanut Butter and clear embossing powder that I activated with the heat tool. Then I cut the gingerbread with the corresponding die cut.
When the glossy card stock was totally dry, I sponged several times in circular motion with Desert Sand Memento Ink. If you want you can also use a brayer to create the resist effect.
To finalize the card I resized the glossy layer and created a gold mat using Gold Starstruck Rinea Foiled Paper and pasted this layer directly over the Cherry Cobbler card base. Then I cut the sentiment Merry Christmas using the same Gold Starstruck Rinea Foiled Paper with a Gina Marie Design Die Cut and pasted it over the chevron background and pasted the gingerbread using dimensionals.
You can use any type the stamps to create this technique, not necessarily background stamps, all depends the theme that you wanted to use in your card.
