Texture backgrounds using dye inks

Hello there,

This is DT Priyadarshini here and am excited to share my new set of cards with everyone. For today, I have 3 cards with different backgrounds where I used items lying around at home to have some texture and details. I used bubble wrap, microfibre cloth and lace with some texture and details and used them as a stamp to create the background. For the cards, I used three stamp sets and one sentiment to go for all cards. Stamps set I used here are Precious treasure, Bloom and Butterfly love. 

Tubby Craft has awesome dye inks that react with water which makes them perfect for watercolouring, inking, stenciling, stamping and more. These inks serve a lot of purpose and this post is all about how to stretch them and use them on other materials apart from stamps. 




Card using Bubble wrap


The first that popped in my mind when I thought about adding texture is bubble wrap. They work perfectly for any underwater card or just background. 
I took a white cardstock and mildly inked with Aqua blue ink using a blending brush.
Then, I took a scrap bubble wrap and used it as a stamp with Turquoise ink and stamped it on white note card. 
I stamped the Oyster with pearl, coloured and fuzzy cut the image. 
I trimmed down the background and added it to a note card and added strips of gold and black card stock and added the oyster image. 
I finished the card with some pearls and a sentiment. 




Card using Microfiber


Moving on to my next card, this is where I used my microfiber cloth which I use to clean my stamps.
This cloth has a lot of texture and gives a beautiful background. 
I used Tangy orange ink and dabbed the cloth directly onto the ink pad and stamped it on white cardstock. 
I stamped my favourite floral image from Bloom stamp set, coloured and fuzzy cut it out. 
I added a twine to the cardstock and secured it with a washi tape on the back of the card. 
I added some vellum die cut leaves and added the stamped image.
I finished the card with some embellishments and sentiment. 





Card using textured lace


Now to final card, I used a small piece of lace I had lying around at home and used the texture and the intricate design to make my background. 
I used Lavender violet ink and dabbed the lace on the ink pad and stamped it randomly on white cardstock. 
I trimmed it down to two squares and added it to my notecard
For this card, I used butterfly from Butterfly love stamp set and finished the card with gemstones and sentiment.

Thank you for stopping by and hope you all enjoyed the cards.

Onto my first card, I have tried showcasing repeated stamping in a border style . I have used Plumeria Florals stamp set and Jet Black dye ink from Tubby craft to stamp the border first.

Now onto my second card, I am using Checkered Stencil for the background .I have used rainbow colors from Tubby Craft Dye ink collection to put them on paper using blending brushes. I masked the center with a circle die cut before applying inks to the card base. Once stenciled background is ready,I removed the mask and stamped sentiment from Luc
