The challenge technique is to use water and reinkers with glossy paper to create the background. Mist cardstock, drop on ink, smash two cardstocks together. ItÂ’s a fun but sorta messy technique and I like my results.
The tree panel was very quick, I stamped the tree, then added leaves with the flowers from Watercolor Minis using three colors. Stamped on the grass and a little dirt and IÂ’m finished. Took about five minutes if that long.
I took distressed the black and orange panels and since I had plenty of time left over I also ink distressed after using the tool.
IÂ’ve used this technique before and had no idea it had a name! Thanks for the name Faith!
