Take a Moment

Happy Saturday.

Today, I am playing with my Acetate Inking Technique again.  

It is so easy and fun and I can get great layering results using my Distress Oxide inks.

So here is what I did to create my card.

I began by taking a piece of acetate and inked it with Distress Oxide ink (colours listed below in the supplies list), sprayed with water and pressed onto my card, keeping the ink to the middle section of my card as I wanted to leave white space.  

 

It's a bit hard to see, but when that was dry, I stamped a butterfly collage stamp and a clock in the background using the same colour as the inking so it became more of a shadow and not a focal point.

Using my Misti, I stamped the thistles and flowers with black ink over the inky bkgd. 

I tucked the sentiment in beside the flowers.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
