I seem to be on a roll with my crafting today, here's a monochrome Christmas card using "Karen Warneka's / Oarsum Crafts" Tape a tag technique.
I used a Sizzix die from their thinlits set called "Woodland Deer". I glued the die cut on to a piece of 4x4" mount board then covered it with sticky backed foil.
I smoothed out the surface then used a paper stump to determine the edges of the stag. I then used a small ball ended metal tool to go round the outline of the stag and make the vertical lines in the background.
I used a wide tipped black Sharpie pen to cover the entire square. Once covered, I buffed the surface with a piece of kitchen roll, till the silver stag was exposed but leaving a very textural background.
Next, I mounted the piece on to a square of black card and then used sticky tape to adhere it to a white card blank.
I used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp the Simon Says Stamp Christmas greeting, which is part of their "Tiny Words - Christmas" stamp set.
Interesting technique, TFS, and a super card resulting from it

Thanks so much Kathy x
DeleteThis reminds me of the look of the cracked ice technique which used black ink dragged over mirri and leaves black lines over the card. But this is obviously a bit different with the dimensional deer covered by the foil, and when it has been pressed down all around the die cut makes a wonderful impression as well as the scratched vertical lines around it, and the black sharpie works beautifully to leave black within the lines. Beautifully done Sam! x
