I have combined Sabrina’s “Ways to Use It” challenge - Paper Tole / Pop it Up and Ky’s “Mix-Ability” challenge – Faux Tile.
First job was to spray several Dylsuions Inks on a plastic bag, spritzed a bit of water onto the inks then dragged an A4 sheet of cardstock through the inks. Where the ink didn’t stick, I just dabbed the paper on it. I don’t know if it makes any difference but I just use normal 250gsm cardstock – NOT watercolour card. Dried with heatgun.
Important note: Move the plastic bag BEFORE using heatgunÂ…Â…oh thatÂ’s a story for a rainy day.
Next step was to cut a 4” strip of the inked card stock to make the faux tiles panel. I used washi tape as masking tape – that might sound a bit extravagant, but it was the worlds ugliest tape that came in a pack of 3 (the other 2 were great). I used distress ink to make the black “grout”. Randomly stamped some background images.
The remaining inked cardstock was used to make the Unity stamps girl. I stamped Heidi 3 times, stuck her on the faux tiles and then layered her skirt twice more and pockets 3 times, using 3D foam tape for the last layer.
I had heaps of fun making this – now for the clean up. Thanks for looking.

So fun Susie! Be sure when it rains next to tell us the story of the heat gun and the plastic wrap! This is fab. Love the colors, the details, and Heidi, her layered self. This is really creative and your write up was a pleasure to read as always. Hugz!

Susie, You really had to do some thinking to get all these elements working so well on this card. I love your idea of spraying your inks onto the bag and stamping/rubbing with it! Great look! tfs
