I created this for Jeanne's HYCCT1523 Pretty Tattoo challenge. If I ever went for a tattoo I think I would choose the word HOPE. Hope is all that got me through some tough days. My other choice would be a cat. LOL They've gotten me through tough days too!
I have been trying this technique for several weeks and just haven't gotten it to work for me until today. I would never try it without a MISTI because the stamp is inked with distress ink, stamped on watercolor paper and then spritzed with water to make the colors wash. Once dried the stamp is inked with a black ink and stamped on top of the original stamping.
I am also playing along with the MIX143 challenge today to make a phrase or word be the focal point of the card. The layer behind my word was created with Brusho Crystal Colors and I couldn't help myself, I dunked it in the last bits of Wrinkle Free Distress technique splatters from another project! Yeah, I am a little addicted to WFD! I don't think you can see it in the photo but the black layer was heat embossed in clear EP with a dot stamp.

It sounds like you are having a lot of fun Angie!! This is such a pretty card. I love the colors. Hope is a good word to have tattooed on you. I always laugh at the commercial where the guy goes to have his gf's name tattooed and he only has enough money for the DON. :>)

Great job with your technique, Angie. I love the word "Hope". What would any of us do without hope?
Like you, I love the Misti...my favorite tool.
Have a great weekend.

Lovely bg for your word...and what a good word it is ("hope"fully they wouldn't have any trouble spelliing it....you've heard of those tattoo disaters where words are spelled wrong!)
