Pat Carr's Annual Stamp Camp April 2014 - Ghosting Technique

Happy Monday Everyone,
Today's gorgeous card was a Workshop project designed by Jenny Chilton using the Ghosting Technique for Pat's Camp. Unfortunately my rectangle isn't quite level, but you can still see how it was created with lots of masking and stamping off a number of times to get the lighter image. It also requires the use of a Stamp Positioner (ie: Stamp-a-ma-jig). 

 Supplies:

Stamps: S/U's Creative Elements,
Card and Papers: Elegant Eggplant, Whisper White,
Ink: Elegant Eggplant, Old Olive, Stazon Black
Cool Tools: Stamp-a-ma-jig, Masking Medium, Aqua Painter, Dble Sided Tape
