This month at Stamp Camp I taught the "Soot Technique". Yes, it it made using real soot. First we sponged Ballet Blue ink on the Glossy Cardstock. Then light a candle and using
tweezers hold the glossy card stock with the glossy side down to the candle (close to the flame). Move back and forth until you have built up soot on the glossy side. Blow it out if it starts to catch fire. Be careful handling the card stock as to not make fingerprints in the soot. Then stamp the image (uninked) onto the soot, remembering that you will be trimming the piece to remove the edges. Clean the stamp immediately with a baby wipe (preferably between each image), then clean well with a regular cleaning pad. When satisfied with the look you will need to spray the image with a clear sealant. When that is dry you will trim the piece to fit your card. Decorate the rest of the card as shown.
I used the "Season of Joy" stamp set. Card stock used was Whisper White, Ballet Blue and Glossy White. Ballet Blue ink was also used. The dangling ornament is made with the scallop punch and ¾" circle punch with a dimensional to pop-it up! It is hung from the white ribbon using silver cord.
