How'd She Do That?

I'm pretty good at looking at a card sample and figuring out the technique that was used.  But I have to tell you, this card had me stumped.  I received this card in a swap from Cindy Westerink (I only changed it a tad).  Believe me, I tried everything before I finally contacted her.  This simple technique was one that I'd forgotten about.  Here's the technique tip:

 Stamp your image in Stazon Black ink on Glossy White Cardstock and let dry thoroughly.  Using a white crayon, color in the areas that you want to stay white.  Sponge the background color over the image.  Now just take a tissue, or paper toweling and rub the areas where the white crayon is.  Voila! 


Here are the supplies I used for today's card:

Stamp Set:  The Open Sea (retiring the end of August)

Paper:  Basic Gray, Riding Hood Red, Glossy White and Whisper White Cardstock, Nautical Expedition Designer Series Paper (retiring the end of August)

Other Supplies:  Stazon Black Ink, Silver Brads, Baker's Twine, Big Shot, Top Note Die, Square Lattice Embossing Folder, Circles #2 Die,  and 2-1/2" Circle Punch

Love this card!!!!!  Thank you Cindy for a great idea!

Thank you all for stopping by!
