Good Morning.
Yesterday over at Splitcoast Stampers, we were challenged to create a card using Snowflakes as the theme and this technique created by Lee aka LuvLee she called Paink for our background.
Since I love to try new techniques, I was ready to try it out.
Here are the instructions she gave:
1. Sponge blue acrylic paint lightly on cardstock
2. Spritz blue ink refill lightly and brush (I drizzled evenly)
3. Drizzle blending solution, brush then set with heat tool
Lee's card was a blue base and since blue works great with snowflakes, I decided to make mine blue too (big surprise eh?). I followed her instructions and my card came together easily.
I began by sponging on some blue acrylic paint, then I filled up a small spritzer bottle with diluted re-inker and sprayed some over the sponged bkg. I dried that, then drizzled on the Blending Solution. I added an extra step, I splattered the piece with white acrylic paint to look like snow.
I dried the piece then die cut out the dots. I then placed it into my Misti and stamped the large snowflake from Tim Holtz in the corner using some Versamark ink and white heat embossed it.
I did the same with the smaller snowflakes from MFT.
Lastly, I stamped in the sentiment, added the black dots and then simply mounted it onto a heavy white card base.
