Splitcoast Tutorial: Inkless Images

This week's tutorial over at Splitcoast is a twist on paper sculpture, using stamped images as a guide. The tutorial is called Inkless Images.

I used this image as the pattern for my card - I love this technique! What a fun way to look at your stamps in a new light. 

Couple - Large
 Here's my finished card - the stamped image is on the back side of the paper sculpture and acts as a guide for cutting.


 I stamped the image 4 times, and these are the pieces I cut to layer.


The image made it easy to know where to add details - I used a stylus along the lines, and also embossed a couple of the pieces to add texture.


For a more rounded edge, I used the cap of a Sakura pen.


Here's a closer look at the image - I added lines to the woman's hair with a smaller stylus. I love the texture the embossing folders added.


The grass borders are die cuts (Grass Border, Small Grass Border).


Here's the card again - I love this image, and I love this 'twist' on it.



Hope you'll give it a try!
Thanks for stopping by!
