The way my demo taught me is to take a sheet of cardstock (probably white, but you could use cream too) and pick three colors of ink. She drags the pad down the length of the paper, going all the way across and the flips the paper and does it the other direction. She then does it with the other two colors as well, staggering them a bit so that the edges are not right on top of each other. When you get a color combo that works together, it looks really nice. It doesn't work for all colors tho, I have tried many a combination that came out looking terrible. If anyone has a list of colors that go well together for this, I would be much obliged!
A couple of the color combos that I have used that look nice together is (in order of how I applied them)
Really Rust, Ruby Red, Old Olive (used on Christmas cards)
Going Gray, Old Olive, Not Quite Navy (these last two might have been switched, can't recall now - used it for a masculine birthday card)
Another way you can use dtp is with a crimper. First, do the crimping. Then apply the ink pad directly on the raised lines.
Similarly with the wet paper technique - wet the paper/cardstock, screw it up tightly, "smooth" it out and dry with heat gun (or overnight). Then do the DTP technique and it just inks the highest bits. Have fun!
:confused: Does anyone have a sample that can be posted or know where one is in the Gallery. Having trouble visualizing.
Here's a sample of DTP combined with wet paper technique: Gallery at Splitcoaststampers It's the green and silver paper around the pix.
I only have one sample of DTP in my gallery and it's not brilliant so I suggest you do a search in the main gallery for DTP or shabby chic. There are LOADS of cards using this technique - far better than mine!
Gallery. I have use this method for many cards. I really like the DTP tech, It's fun and easy.
I have a couple of cards that I took ink spots and made a Frame border with this tech. Ducks and Birthday bear....
But I have many others in there with the DTP tech...
What is the DTP technique? nft
