Zoom with Crafty Friends - White on Kraft Cards

Hi everyone.  Happy St. Paddy's Day!  You'd think I would be posting a green card, but instead I'm sharing some white on kraft card stock cards that I made as samples for yesterday's Zoom call with my crafting friends. 

Many examples will be Christmas cards ... this combination is perfect for them.  For the card above, I followed an example of how to do white sponging on kraft from a very talented team mate, Linda (Life in the Craft Lane) ... this link is to all her white and kraft cards.  She is a master at creating beautiful white on kraft cards.  Thanks for the inspiration Linda!

This is a combination of sponging with white pigment ink (Hero Arts) using torn copy paper to create masks for snowhills.  I love how this turned out.  The trees (All Things Evergreen - Penny Black) are stamped in Archival Potting Soil ink (permanent) and placed along the way as I moved up the card with my sponging.  The sentiment (Bright and Light - Penny Black) was also stamped in the Potting Soil ink.  I used white acrylic paint to add the snow details on the trees, and diluted more of the white acrylic paint to splatter the card for my falling snow.  It was fun!  I enjoyed using a mini slimline as my base (3 1/4" x 61/4"). 

Close-up ...

Other ways to create white on kraft are super simple.  First up, stamp image in Versamark or White Pigment ink and heat emboss with white.  Easy, peasy ...

For the card below, I stamped the image (Heart Christmas from Penny Black) in versamark and heat embossed in white.  I used a watercolour pencil to colour in the image and lightly went over top with a water brush to smooth out the colour.  The sentiment is from Holly Days (Penny Black).

And last for today ... using Radiant (Penny Black), stamped in Versamark onto vellum, heat embossed in white, fussy-cut and placed over a kraft card base.  Stamped the sentiment (Gratitude - Penny Black) in Versmark and heat embossed in white to match.

Stenciling is another way to create white on kraft.  And you can use a variety of products with the stencil ... white sponging, white heat embossing, white paste, white crackle paste, textured paste, etc.

Also, my friend Bonnie recently made a card using kraft card stock which was dry embossed and then swiped over top with a white stamp pad.  Awesome!
