Ghost Stamping Archives - Crafty-rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are share projects using White Craft ink. I have used the ghosting technique with the Fragrant Layers stamp set to make my card.

Colours used to make this card are:

Basic White

Lost Lagoon

Pretty Peacock

I created the ghosted fragrant flowers card using the following supplies:

Pretty Peacock card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Basic White – 5” by 3⅜”
Lost Lagoon – 4⅞” by 3”
Basic White – 2¼” by ⅝”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside

I stamped the solid floral image, randomly all over the panel of Lost Lagoon card using White Craft Ink. I added the triple leaf image to fill in the gaps using the same ink and set the panel aside to dry.

I inked the same images with Pretty Peacock ink and stamped over the dried white images, slightly offsetting each image. This gives the ‘ghost’ or ‘shadow’ impression.

The stamped panel was then glued to the smaller Basic White panel and added to the Pretty Peacock card from on Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped on the smallest piece of Basic White card with Pretty Peacock ink before being added to the card front.

A trio of Basic Rhinestones finished the card.

Supplies used:

Today I am sharing a card made using the new Bloom and Grow stamp set and co-ordinating Budding Blooms dies. I saw a video by TheStampDoc – where she used this set with a technique called ‘ghost stamping’ and I thought I would give it a try.

To recreate the Bloom & Grow card you will need;

Melon Mambo card base
Gray Granite 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Whisper White 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 2
Scrap Whisper White for the sentiment

I stamped the floral image onto the Gray Granite cardstock panel in Versamark ink and covered it with White Embossing Powder…….and yes, I did use my embossing buddy first. I heat set the powder with my Heat Tool and set it aside to cool.
