This was another of last month’s club projects. The card itself is a CASE of Darlene McCallum’s card that I saw on Pinterest. You can see her post and another great example of this technique here.
The technique is called ghosting. It creates a white shadow around an image. In this case, I used the dots stencil, and I used a dauber to fill in the dots with ink from my Whisper White pad. When that was dry, I offset the stencil and used a dauber to add color from my Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight and Bermuda Bay ink pads.
The piece between the 2″ Bermuda Bay circle and the greeting is heat embossed in white on vellum. The stamp is from “#hello”, but I punched with my 1 3/4″ circle instead of the 2″ circle size that is intended for the set. Since I planned to overlay a different greeting, it didn’t matter that I was cutting into the words on that image.
You can do this technique with stamps, too. Here I used a stamp from “Petal Potpourri”, first in white, and then in Bermuda Bay.
Have a great day!
