I saw the challenge last night to do the tissue water coloring technique. I got up this morning and watched the video, then I started messing. I say messing because I make big messes to clean up. Loll didn't have this problem on her end. While I was busy messing, I just tried a couple products to see what I liked best. I used Distress inks and Ken Oliver Color Bursts. I like the brighter color I got from the color bursts, but the distress inks work well, also. I added gold embossing powder over three coats of the distress ink for today's card. I stenciled my distress inks using the same colors on my white card stock for the background panel. I now wish I had made the background a little darker, but at the time, I was afraid it would take away from my cups.
Now I am off to put up all of the products that I have pulled out and left on my craft table. So let the fun begin.

Wow! Love these deep purples! Your background is perfect, I think, for your vibrant teacups, where the tissue stands out so well against the die cut solids. Beautiful card!

Wow that sounds like a lot of work, but it was well worth it. I like the light background. I think it makes the cups stand out more. The hints of gold make them look like expensive China cups.

Beautiful cups, they look like delicately patterned bone china! I'm up there with a shot at title "messiest stamper" so I feel for you putting it all away!
