Today is my last post in the paper fundamentals feature- this one is a layout that I featured on Tuesday for the technique blog post (feel free to click here to visit the how to behind what I did).
This layout used the paper fundamentals quatrefoil pattern (the glossy side) and the ink I added for the ‘ghosting’ affect does not stick to the glossy. This means that if you rub ink in certain spots you will make the pattern POP! I used the white daisy pigment ink on this layout.
The layout also features strips of patterned paper from all of our paper lines. I did some hand-drawn doodling to add the stitches and the lines around the layout. My fan was cut using the cricut Artiste cartridge and covered with the gold polka dot washi tape. A fun layout for my little diva!

Another paper fundamentals project today- this one showing a masculine birthday card. In this project I used the beige paper (it has little embosses hearts on it) to create my pennant and the piece behind the patterned paper from timberline. I stamped happy Birthday and added some epoxy bubbles and natural bakers twine to finish it off.
Come back friday for another project- this one a layout!

This week our technique will be on resist ink- and it will be a little different in that I won’t be sharing a picture of the finished project until Friday so be sure to come back and visit!
To create the resist you can use a few different things- our paper fundamentals line is perfect for this as it already has a glossy image (like you can see here). You can also use heat embossing to create your own image for resist.
The resist piece works when you add ink- in the case of my sample I used our white daisy pigment but any ink will do. I rubbed the ink on with a sponge and wherever the glossy image is will RESIST the ink- hence the name of the technique!
Here is a close up on the resist area on my finished project- your sneak peek until friday….

Have you seen our new paper fundamentals line and all the fun stuff you can do with it? If not hand out here this week and I will share with you a few projects that I have created with this new line of cardstock.
This paper line features one side with a graphic print- a pattern mixed of white and the basic colour. The reverse side of the paper is the basic colour with a glossy overlay in the pattern- this makes for versatility and lots of fun!
On this card you can see the graphic side of the black fundamentals sheet (chevron!!!! so cute!!)- I mixed this with a piece of lollydoodle and some fun accessories- lagoon zipper lace, aqua dots, epoxy bubbles and some seam binding ribbon. I used the Banner wishes stamp set to add my sentiment.
Here is another project that I featured a few months ago that used the reverse side of the black fundamentals paper.
Watch for my next project later this week 🙂
