Acetate Inking- CAS Watercolour Challenge

Hello and Welcome.

Time for more fun at the 

CAS Watercolour Challenge

Our theme this month is 'Anything Goes'

This month we welcome out guest Hideko from Papercraft Boutique.

Please check out all the great inspirations the Design Team has created.

 I had the most frustrating time trying to photograph this card so I apologize for the poor quality.

So onto my card.  

As most of you already know, I love to play with my inks and create watercoloured backgrounds that are quick and simple.  I have found that by using a piece of acetate, I can do this quite efficiently as I can bend it and manipulate the inks and place them where I want them to go.

I added ink over ink then when they were all dry, I edged the inked area using my ScorBug and my ScorPal and added the 'Let is Snow' and the snowflake die.  Lastly, I added a silver Nuvo drop to the center of the snowflake.

I created a few of these backgrounds and I took pictures of my process so you could see how I did it.

Hope you enjoy it.

Acetate Inking

Step #1

I got out my piece of acetate and my Distress Oxide inks.

Rub ink onto the acetate sheet.

Step #2

Spray with water, then you can bend the sheet and place the ink wherever you want it to go.

Step #3

Dry each colour layer (I used my heat tool) and then add additional colours you want for your piece.

Finished backgrounds and ready to make a card.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
