Batik technique
Batik technique
Has anyone ever tried this before? I love the look. Thought it would be fun to do on a sheet of paper and use it for punches or diecuts.

Re: Batik technique
That looks really cool.... not sure how it'll appear in a small sample like a punch or diecut... but it makes great backgrounds on her examples...
I may try some of that, too... trying to pre-organize some things to do to keep me busy on a trip up to Baltimore later in September... I'm taking the train both ways from the Norfolk, VA area... so I'll have about 4 or 5 hours to fiddle around with little projects... if I can figure out a sample or two, then I can get the stamping/embossing done ahead of time... maybe even the folding... and then just do the inking on the train... should keep me out of trouble for an hour or so...![Smile :-)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)

Re: Batik technique
I thought leaf punches or dies would be really pretty for fall layouts.

I hadn't looked there yet this morning. Glad you posted this. Very cool look. Another one to try.

Re: Batik technique
I've done this a bunch. Emboss resist technique...
I must say her samples are beautiful

Re: Batik technique
Yes, very cool! I've done this without crumpling the paper, but I love the look of all the veins through the embossing. Definitely going to give this a try.
Re: Batik technique
beautiful!
I've done this before in the past, but always ironed afterwards to remove the embossing. She doesn't say that in directions but wonder if she did? Or I missed it, LOL

Re: Batik technique
I love that technique but as the others said, it never suggested crumpling before. I like ironing off the embossing powder because it gets rid of the shine and makes it look more like real batik.
Re: Batik technique
I liked her version using the Kraft card stock too.
I wonder if using liquid frisket/rubber cement over the stamps would work? I might try that instead of embossing just to see what happens with the cracking from crumpling it up.

Re: Batik technique
Can you stamp with rubber cement, Farley? Guess I could try it, couldn't I? I know I bought some for some reason ![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)

Re: Batik technique
I gave it a try tonight.... I used some Adirondak inks on the white one.... and Distress Inks on the kraft colored one...
The distress inks work much better...
and... when folding the cardstock.. you get a better crack in the embossed images if you fold that side outward.... then the embossed area cracks more.. or more deeply (so I don't think you'd get that same effect if you used rubber cement... that would clear off the page easily, but I don't think it would crack
I left these images big so you could see any details
