It's been a very wet week here and I'm now glad that for a short while there is no wind or rain and the sun is shining. I believe it is due to last a couple of days and so let's enjoy it. However you've found the right place for some crafting inspiration if you are stuck indoors with wet windy weather. Our Totally Techniques team are sharing one form of Ghost Stamping.
It's something I had never done before and I enjoyed getting inky to create some fun simple cards with a different texture. I also used a selection of background stamps that I love to use but often forget to pull off my shelf.
All you really need is a pigment white ink pad, white card, a background or line image stamp and then a solid image or background stamp. You'll also want some different colour inkpads which can be all different colours or the same colour in different shades. You don't need much else other than a base card and any embellishments or sentiments you may wish to add. This is really simple with subtle results, but enhancing results and I think you will enjoy having a go.

For the above card you'll want colours similar to Garden Green, Lemon Lime twist, Azure Afternoon, Misty Moonlight and white pigment ink.
You can find out how to create the ghost stamping effect in the video below.
From background stamps to add the colour you can also move to using smaller stamps like these from the Iconic Imagery Stampin' Up! bundle. Use all the different elements to create a seasonal background of your own and then just add sentiments to share your festive message.
For this you'll need colours similar to Poppy Parade, Garden Green, Lemon Lime Twist, Lemon Lolly, white pigment ink and black card.
Give this technique a try because you'll definitely enjoy trying it out with different colours and stamps. Also take a look at my global Stampin' Up! friends on our blog hop by clicking on the icons below to look at their makes with this technique.
