Today's technique is demonstrated by our Art Director Lisa Strahl but all technique credit goes to Tim Holtz and is used with permission from Ranger Ink.
This simple technique can bring life to your old black and white photos, but can also recreate the look of old photos by stamping an image on glossy cardstock. The Thomas Kinkade Series images are perfect to recreate the look of an old photograph!

Supplies Needed: -Thomas Kinkade Stonehearth Hutch stamp by Cornish Heritage Farms -“For unto you…” sentiment by Cornish Heritage Farms -Cut ‘n Dry Nibs by Ranger -Cut ‘n Dry Foam by Ranger -Glossy Cardstock by Ranger -Vintage Photo Distress Ink by Ranger -Stone Grey StazOn by Tsukineko -Sunshine Yellow, Lettuce, Bottle, Sail Boat Blue and Cranberry Adirondack Ink by Ranger -White Opal Liquid Pearls by Ranger
Step One Stamp image onto glossy cardstock with Stone Grey StazOn and cut out.
Step Two Press the lid into the ink pad.
Step Three Dip your Cut ‘n Dry Nib into the ink.
Step Four Use Sunshine Yellow to color the windows in the house.
Step Five Continue coloring the image as desired – Lettuce and Bottle for the trees.
Step Six Use Sailboat Blue for the sky and a little Cranberry for the wreath. Don’t be afraid to apply the ink fairly dark!
Step Seven Ink up your Cut ‘n Dry Foam with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.
Step Eight Apply the ink to the image in a smooth, circular motion beginning OFF the card stock. Cover the entire image with a layer of ink.
Step Nine The small tip can also be used to apply other mediums such as Liquid Pearls.
Step Ten Once you have applied the Liquid Pearls you can use the nib to create texture in the Pearls.
Final Project Finish your project!
