wow, Judy... I love this technique. I only used two inks - tempting turquoise and green galore. I rubbed the ink onto acetate in lines - first green galore, next tempting turquoise and repeated it again. Spritzed ink with water. Laid the water colour paper onto the ink and gently rubbed the back of the paper. Carefully lifted it off and then dryed with heat gun. Reinked the acetate the same way, and spritzed with water. Only this time I laid the paper down so that I got a plaid design. Dryed paper. Stamped the Upsy Daisy flowers using versafine onyx black ink - stamped onto my plaid paper - and then clear embossed the flowers. Matted with black. Added the black ribbon and then the velvet green ribbon overtop. Stamped the sentiment with Stazon jet black ink - I used my stamp a ma jig to get the sentiment straight. Sewed edges. Attached the beaded flower. Made the base card. Image panel is popped up. On the green and blue - white core paper I roughed up the edges with sand paper.
Thanks for looking,
Hugs..Pat
