Fancy Flowers

Happy Saturday!

Had some fun creating this card using my Distress Oxide inks.

The technique is one where the ink applied is lifted with water.  That can be easily done with DOX's as they are a great water based ink.

Here's what I did to create my card.

I began by inking up my card front using some Salty Ocean and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide inks.  Next, when the ink was dry, I rubbed the whole front with an anti-static pad.  This helps the embossing powder stick just where you want it to and not all over your inked background.

I then positioned my flowers inside my Misti, inked them with Versamark and white heat embossed them.  It is best to use an 'open' image for this technique.

I went into the flowers with a wet paintbrush and lifted the ink from the petals and leaves being sure to rinse my brush frequently to remove the ink from it.

I added colour to my flowers by painting them in with some purple Distress Oxide ink and a paintbrush.

The sentiment was also stamped with Versamark and white heat embossed.

Lastly, I splattered the whole piece with some water to lift the colour and white heat embossed the edges.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
