 | | I made this thank you card for my dear friend Loretta. I first heat embossed the image using white embossing powder. Then I used 3 colors of blues and greens distress inks and sponged them on starting with the lightest color and going to the darkest color. I left the bottom the very lightest because I thought I was going to stamp a sentiment here, but in the end, I die cut one instead. When you are done with the sponging, take a paintbrush and plain water and paint the water all over your image. Then place a paper towel over the image you just painted with water to lift the color up. You may have to do this 2 or 3 times to get the desired bleaching you want. Now take a dark aqua spectrum noir or copic marker and outline the flower image to make it pop off the page more; be very careful to not color on the white embossing because it will change the color of the embossing to aqua. If this happens, use a QTip and some isopropyl alcohol to gently lift the color away from the embossing. Also, take a light gray spectrum noir marker and add lines into the flowers for some depth; again, avoiding the white embossing. Take a paint brush and get it really wet with water, and splatter it on your background to create a mottled look. I separated the thank you die so it would fit on the image panel better. The image panel is layered onto DSP that is adhered to the card base. I am not positive, but I believe this is a technique I saw by WPlus9 somewhere on YouTube. I really enjoyed watching this card come together with this fun technique. |
