Another Card Using Pods-Just for Fun

This card was made using a large pod and a small pod to color the raised areas of an embossed surface with 2 different inks by being selective in rubbing the CS.
1. Emboss CS with the EF of your choice. Used CB EF Bird in Hand because this design has 2 distinct areas that can be colored different hues.
2. Using a large pod inked with green, rub the surface of the "tree" area using a circular motion (don't forget to dab excess ink)
3. Using a small pod inked with red, color in the birds of the design.
Trim the edge of CS to fit card. Used the pod with green to edge this mat with green.
4. Cut and embossed a ribbon tag with Spellbinders. Stamped sentiment. Rubbed this with a green pod to bring out embossing.
Finished card as shown.

Bird is on a circle mat of white CS that was rubbed with green pod. Also colored bird with small pod with red ink since I had it handy and the color would match background.
Pods cannot be cleaned so it is neccesary to assign pod to a single color just as one might do with daubers or sponges. Since the price is $1 for a pack of 7, the price is right.

What is a Pod???

In one of my recent posts, I mentioned buying some pods at The Stamp Pad. Some of you have asked what is a POD? This picture shows the pods loose on the right side and in a pack ...3 large pods and 4 small pods are sold in a pack for $1. I believe they are made from compressed polyester fibers and are more firm than sponges and daubers. I am also showing sponges in the picture so that you can see a comparison of sizes. Using these in a circular motion with ink applied, they are great to color the raised portions of an dry embossed design.  Can be used with a variety of ink types...just now experimenting with them.

Here is a picture of some cardstock cut with a nesties die. On the left side I inked with a sponge before removing the die as we often do to have that clean edge. On the right I used a pod that was inked and used a circular motion to apply color. Since the pod is very flat and firm you can not use with the die on your cutout but the embossed edge does show up distinctly....I like this look. You can start out lightly applying ink with the pod and then add more...important to blot pod after using on the ink pad (just as do when using a sponge) and apply with a consistent circular motion.
I have not seen this tool before...only at the The Stamp Pad.
