I learned the Batik technique from my friend Denise Carlson, and it has become one of my favorite top 5 stamping techniques. For this card, I used Apricot Appeal, Cameo Coral and Rose Red craft ink spots. I did two-step using the Wild Rose stamp set. The solid, smaller rose image was stamped using using white craft ink. Then, the coordinating line image was over-stamped using Purely Pomegranate. Purely Pomegranate was also used for the veining. The stamp set Canvas was used for a subtle background. Apricot Appeal and Cameo Coral card stock were used along with Purely Pomegranate double-stitched ribbon for the added pop. I absolutely love this color combo.
The great thing about the Batik technique is you can use different colored craft ink to achieve totally different looks. For this card, I used Summer Sun, Pumpkin Pie and Real Rust craft ink spots. Chocolate Chip was used for the over-stamping and Real Rust was used for the veining. The back-ground stamp set used was Sanded.
And here is one more sample with a more subtle look. Bashful Blue, Sage Shadow, and Ballet Blue craft ink spots were used.
