I went with https://www.washiarts.com/marbled-ko...-karen-perrine as my inspiration. I wanted to try out new Oxide inks and thought this would work. I sponged the inks on a gray cardstock and spritzed with water..then spritzed with distress stain in silver. I then stamped the hearts and branches with the same distress oxide inks (full strength, did not spritz after that). I outlined some of the motifs with a gel pen. I wanted to use white but my white pens were toast! I'm still deciding if I like it or not....kind of experimenting with those oxide inks....TFL!

Neat blending on the bg - a very pretty card Polly!!

Gorgeous background and card; love how you used the Oxides.
A tip for you on the gel pens: most new gel pens have a tiny plastic covering on the tip that you have to remove before you can write. Don't throw that away! The manufacturers put those on for a reason: to keep the ink from drying out. That's the reason the pens work so well when new, and then seem to dry up in just a short time. You can also use a tiny bit of polymer clay on the tip to accomplish the same thing.
