Cards with Metallic Reinking Technique

[pamcook]

Is this similar to Tim's teaching? Use a mini mister, add 1 dropper of ink refill and a bit of perfect pearls for some shimmer? I use that a lot and I LOVE the look. I'm going to try it with some water & refill for a Brilliance ink pad. That might be really cool!

Actually - I'll share and hope I don't get in hot water over this -
On most of these I used white glossy cardstock - stamped an image on the white and used clear embossing - let it dry and then put 3 dots - separated across the top - about 1/2" down - and then brayered.....when you get the effect you want you can use a paper towel or a soft rag and rub off excess ink from the embossed areas.......

If you use black glossy you have to heat set.

Hope this helps

3 dots of metallic ink (reinkers)?

[djenns]

Yes, with the re-inkers........not sure what size of blobs but not too big......just play - a little green goes a long ways
I just play with the colors and if I don't like it I add a little more......

There are some neat ways that Tricia did, but you'd have to watch the video and I don't think it's online for everyone yet......but if you order the reinkers I think she sends a link.

These are really pretty, Diana.

I don't think yo'll get in trouble over it.... I've been doing this technique since the late 90's. It's a lot of fun to do, and you can experiment with using the reinkers in many different ways.
