This wrinkle technique creates great results. I first tried it with regular stamp pads and was inspired by not wanting to throw away my used protective paper from sublimation. You can read about that here. [wrinkle technique] Immediately after doing so, I thought why not use the new sublimation ink pads from Artesprix for this technique? So here it is applied to a

To finish off the pendant after sublimating the front, I used permanent black ink on the sides and back of the piece.

stamp pads

The Artesprix stamp pads I received are in blue, purple, and green. What a great color combination! These stamp pads are rich and juicy. They are more of a foam texture instead of a felt which means they are easy to ink up your stamps with a light tap of the stamp onto the pad.

align blank

For this project, I stamped a pattern of dragonflies and painted them. See the video tutorial below for the how-to of this stamp and paint technique. Instead of outlining the blank first, I stamped a pattern large enough to cover the blank and then chose the placement of the blank.

ready to heat

Follow the instructions for preparing your blank to heat. Make sure your blank is taped in place to the transfer design. Then use protective paper on the top and bottom, creating a sandwich. Once the heat source is placed, do not move it around. You might find a bit of pressure to be helpful.

Always lift a small corner to check the transfer before removing the taped design. This can really save your project. I had to heat mine twice since the EasyPress was losing some heat when I moved it onto the sandwich.

I finished my tag off by going around the outside edge in purple Unicorn Spit and then placed a label on the back with my contact information. The label was made using a Cricut Joy. I plan on using it on my luggage.

Purple edge as a finishing touch.

The stamp pads should be available on the Artesprix website by May 5th.
