Project designed by Vesta Abel.
Materials:
crumpled laser printer paper (copy machine paper)
Adirondack jet black dye-based ink pad - available at local craft stores
Adirondack dye-based ink pads in a variety of colors - available at local craft stores
spray bottle filled with water
heat tool
paper towels
newspaper
gold, silver or copper Decor-It ink
Magic Mould foam blocks
latex gloves - optional
stack of newspaper
Steps:
- Position a full sheet of laser paper on top of stack of newspaper.
- Remove lid from any color of Adirondack ink pad and rub the ink directly onto the paper, covering it completely.
- Spray the inked paper with water to let the color blend. Remove excess water with a paper towel then dry with a heat tool. Crumple the paper then flatten it out again leaving the surface wrinkled.
- Pick up the black ink pad and pass it over the raised wrinkles in the paper, lightly touching the paper and leaving black accents.
- Squeeze out a small puddle of gold Decor-It ink onto the newspaper. Set aside.
- Create a texture stamp (or use a purchased one) using Magic Mould block. To do this, heat block with the heat tool until soft then press it onto anything textured such as leaves, lace, string, basket, etc.
- Rub textured stamp into the gold ink and dab randomly over the hand-dyed paper to add a finishing touch. Use paper as gift wrap, in cards, etc.
