Painted Poppy Black & White Variations

A simple black & white card created with the Painted Poppies stamp set - Stampin' Up Mini Catalogue 2020

These are the variations of the Painted Poppies card I shared on Friday.  They couldn't be simpler!

I simply white heat embossed the image (twice) onto my Basic Black card and then heat embossed the greeting from Butterfly Wishes.

This Painted Poppies card is white heat embossed onto black card
and then painted with Whisper White craft ink tinted with Cherry Cobbler ink

Then, as another variation, I painted the poppies with a mix of Whisper White Craft Ink and a touch of Cherry Cobbler ink.

TIPS:

• The craft ink is slow drying and easy to smudge so, if you're right handed, work from left to right and top to bottom when painting.
  
• The tonal contrast with the black card is so great that you will get a rather translucent result.  This can be mitigated by adding more layers of ink - allowing the ink to dry between coats.
  
• I found the best way to clean up the white, heat embossed lines after painting was with a cotton bud to minimise  the "halo" effect of smudged craft ink.
  
• I stamped with the craft ink rather than Versamark before adding the white embossing powder.  Both work well, I just find the white easier to see.

Thank you for visiting.
