7. Inking

As an artist, Erikia Ghumm often turns to inks and dyes to create her own papers and tags.

TIPS
• Don a mask.
To create the flames on her layout, Erikia sprayed dye over a flame mask. Download step-by-step instructions for this technique here.

• Blot blemishes. Erikia applied several light layers of the dye to avoid saturating the paper, which can ruin the masked shape. If a puddle does form, simply blot it up quickly.

SOURCES Cardstock, decorative paper: Club Scrap. Stamps: Sacred Kitsch Studio (love heart, truth bird), Club Scrap (words), Inkadinkado (square collage), Hero Arts (Asian text). Ink, glitter glue: Ranger Industries. Mask: Heidi Swapp. Chipboard accents: We R Memory Keepers. Buttons: Autumn Leaves. Flower: Prima. Design: Erikia Ghumm.
