I saw this challenge last night, on Splitcoast Stampers, to do the tissue water coloring
technique. I got up this morning and watched a video by Loll Thompson demonstrating this technique, then I started
messing. I say messing because I make big messes to clean up. Loll
didn't have this problem on her end. :) While I was busy messing, I
just tried a couple products to see what I liked best. I used Distress
inks and Ken Oliver Color Bursts. I like the brighter color I got from
the color bursts, but the distress inks work well, also. I added gold
embossing powder over three coats of the distress ink for today's card.
I stenciled my distress inks using the same colors on my white card
stock for the background panel. I now wish I had made the background a
little darker, but at the time, I was afraid it would take away from my
cups.
Now I am off to put up all of the products that I have pulled out and left on my craft table. So let the fun begin. :)
Hope you all have a great week.
Well, your card is very pretty, but I have no idea how you did it. I'd better check out the video!
