I’m so excited that I can finally tell you that Spectrum Noir is launching BRAND NEW INKPADS! These truly are amazing!
In particular I’ve been playing with the Harmony inkpads which are water reactive and dye based. They are perfect for blending and distress techniques, plus they are slightly slower at drying than other inks which means they are so easy to work with! The collection includes co-ordinated 3-colour palates which means that for each colour you will get a light, medium and darker tone – enabling you to create 3-colour ombres and blends straight away! Those middle tones are soooo vibrant and bright! In conclusion, I LOVE these inkpads and can’t wait to get hold of the storage trays so that they can live on my desk!
The inkpads are launching on HSN on 11th July 2018 and in August in the UK on Hochanda.
All of my samples below were inked onto Sheena Stamping Card.
To create this effect I have used the yellow inkpad as an embossing ink for clear embossing powder. That made the butterflies glossy and resit the rest of the inking techniques. Stamps by Cherry Green and embossing folder from Crafter’s Companion Textures range.
I’ve done a similar embossing powder resist technique on this card but using a stencil. Stamps by Sheena Douglass and quilling flower dies from Crafter’s Companion.
