Plaid Stamping

Laura Bassen is teaching this technique.  I LOVE her plaid patterns.   But I do agree with her that there needs to be a wider stamp for making plaids.   I just need the wider stamps at the moment.  It was hard to create the overall look at an angle.

1. Cover and layer inks for a complete plaid pattern.
2. Ink blending over plaid stamping.
3. Using masking and ink blending in plaid patterns, including dye and pigment ink.

 

Up first is the cover and layer inks for a complete plaid pattern.  LOL, only after finished I realized I forgot one color in the order of ink.  yikes.  At least I did not even notice until a day later so it cannot be that bad.

 

Supplies:

Neenah Solar White Cardstock
Avery Elle Ink Pads (sorry forgot to write it down)

Next is the ink blending over plaid stamping

It ended up being a little distressed because of the short stamps.  Dang I need those longer stamps from Papertrey Ink.  LOL

Supplies:

Neenah Solar White Card Stock
Simon Says Stamp Ink Pads: Cobblestone, Fog
My Favorite Things Plaid Background Builder
Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pads: Tumbled Glass, Shaded Lilac, Scattered Straw, Worn Lipstick

Finally the last plaid technique is using masking and ink blending in plaid patterns.  Ok, no masking done here, but I get how to do it.

 

Supplies:
