I've been having a lot of fun with the Neutral Shadows Technique lately. I knew this was the perfect technique to use with this picture of my great-grandparents from Ireland.
You simply clear emboss your images and then rub a neutral ink color around the images to make them pop! Here I used Gray Wool. I used a stipple brush to apply the ink. Here's a tip to make it easier... wind a rubber band around the bristles of the stipple brush to keep them tight. This helps you apply the ink into all the tiny spaces around the images.
Licorice Pearls add just the right finishing touch.
Stamp Sets: Trellis, Cherished Flourishes
All supplies are Close To My Heart
Give it a try! It's an easy way to make a stunning layout!
