Direct to Paper Technique






Direct to Paper is a QUICK and super easy technique!!

You can do this on regular cards stock but I wanted a glossy look 

so I started with photo paper that I bought at the dollar store.  

~Simply drag your ink pad directly across your paper. Ink takes 

longer to dry on glossy paper so I  heat set in between  colors. 

I simply started at the bottom with Ranger's Burlap Ink, dragging it across the paper- Heat set.

~Drag Ranger's Peeled Paint across the paper, heat set.


~Drag Ranger's Stormy Sky across the paper, heat set. 

~Stamp Rubbernecker's -Dapper on Bike SKU:535-04  and 

  Rubbernecker's Thinking of You SKU:565-10


with Jet Black Stazon Ink. 

Quick and Easy Peasy!!


Thanks for stopping by!!
Ellen
