In today's tutorial, I'm demonstrating two completely separate techniques for achieving an aged, spooky look featuring the RAVEN's TALE & Elements of Text stamps.
đ¤ Technique #1: Vintage backgrounds using Ranger Distress Oxide Inks:
Antique Linen
Vintage Photo
Black Soot
đ¤ Technique #2: Vintage backgrounds using Stampin' Up! Classic Inks
Gray Granite
Basic Gray
Copper Clay
Basic Beige
Memento Tuxedo Black
Each method uses MEMENTO BLACK ink and Clear EMBOSSING Powder. You'll see how each method creates its own unique personalityâfrom the smooth elegance of Stampin' Up! inks to the rich, weathered effects of Distress Oxides. Whether you're making Halloween cards, gothic-inspired projects, or vintage masculine cards, you'll come away with techniques you can use again and again.
