This is called the Painter's Tape Technique - it's easy and unique! Use blue painter's tape because it is LOW tack adhesive. Start with 8 inches of tape for EACH color you intend to use. Lay the tape across a dye ink pad, sticky side down, and lightly rub the tape to pick up the ink.

Apply the inked tape to your card stock and press.

Gently pull off the tape and the ink will remain on the card stock showing a unique texture. It's always different and irregular. Repeat with different colors. Use a different piece of tape for each color.

Here are Peach Pie and Pretty in Pink colors on Basic white cardstock. This is ready to use for a project.

This sample is being die cut with Spotlight on Nature Dies #163580.

Here is the finished card featuring the Wanted to Say Dies #161594 in Basic Black Card Stock. The Painter's Tape background adds a unique ink texture!
