Colored Soot Stamping
by Beate Johns
Take soot stamping up a notch by brayering your cardstock beforehand.
Step-by-Step
-
Step 1
Ink up your brayer with dye ink and start rolling it over your glossy cardstock.
-
Step 2
Continue to do so until your cardstock is evenly colored.
-
Step 3
Light your candle. Hold glossy side of cardstock over the candle, so that the flame touches it. Move the cardstock around quickly.
WARNING: Be careful! The edges of the cardstock will catch fire easily.
-
-
Step 4
Take your stamp and press it onto the soot covered cardstock.
NOTE: Don't touch the soot-covered part with your fingers, or you will have fingerprints. The soot comes off easily. -

Step 5
Continue to add more stamped images if wanted.
-
Step 5
Spray your image with acrylic sealer to prevent smudging.
-
Step 6
Finish your card.

Thanks in advance!
You can buy glossy cardstock from Stampin' Up! If you don't have a demonstrator, you can go to www.stampinup.com and use demo locator to get one. They have the best price for glossy cs. I've tried glossy photo paper and it just doesn't come out the same. Good Luck!
Any cancle would do, the candle burns the ink and creates the soot.

But after you brayer your card stock. Do you burn candle under it (on white part) or right on the brayer part? ( like turn it upside down so flame hits the brayer part.
What kind of candle leaves soot?
Your response would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

The cheaper the candle, the more soot you should get.
