Today I've started out playing with my Distress Inks and created this watercolour background for a card for four challenges....
I tried something different this morning....First I stamped the swirly image several times in white and embossed in white. Then I dabbed some Distress Ink (peacock feathers, salty ocean) on my plastic sheet sprayed with water and inverted the card - giving me a lovely blue/green mix. Next I ironed off the embossing so I would have a flat surface to stamp my sentiment....well that didn't work too well - it's flat but left some squashed shiny swirls. but I figured I might as well see if the stamping would work. Yes ok the black ink looked good, so I decided to add my own swirls with a fine silvery glitter pen, and some sequins..and now I'm really happy with my card.
Thanks for taking a peek Robyn
