This is my card for today's Way to Use It Challenge - Just Spray It.
I inked my stamps with VIntage Photo Distress Ink by Ranger and then misted the stamps lightly before stamping them (took several tries to get it not too wet!!!)
I used the Paisley BG stamp and stamped it on white Papertrey CS and a hydrangea stamp from Anna Griffin that I stamped on watercolor paper.
I Colored in a few of the petals with my SU marker just for a little color accent.
I pierced several edges - put ribbon around the Brown Bazzill panel and distressed the watercolor edges.
The Sentiment words are by Papertrey from the Paper Tray set.
I want to try this technique again because I think you can get a lot of different looks from it after much practice!

This is beautiful Julia! Ranger inks are very juicy, I love working with them, and I can see where it would be easy to get your image too wet. Sometimes when I'm using this technique, I spray the mist up into the air and then waive my stamp into the mist, it picks up less water that way. I love the colors you've chosen, and that touch of color in the petals is beautiful.
