The wonderful Karen Dunbrook is hosting the TLC challenge and she's included the video tutorial by the equally wonderful Loll Thompson on how to do the Splash Watercolour technique. I first learned it from Loll using regular Distress inks but it is equally fabulous but slightly different with Distress Oxide inks.
I made the card with a particular friend in mind - when she retired she decided to learn to paint using oil paints. She took several classes and has become really good - so good that I've bought two of her paintings for my house. I wanted to capture her favourite colours so used the three colours of Oxide inks closest to them for my Splash Watercolour background.
As Karen says in the challenge, it creates a perfect background for stamping on. I put the stamps in my MISTI so that I could restamp a couple of times to get a good dark impression.
To finish it off, I die cut the panel and some black cardstock with the layering rectangle dies and mounted it on a piece of fun foam.
