Today I have another technique that can be used with your Pumice DI pad paired with a waterbrush (or paint brush & water.....
Stone Wall Background
Supplies:
Pumice Distress Ink
Waterbrush
Cardstock
Heat Tool (optional)
Begin making your stone wall by picking up a bit of the Pumice ink with your waterbrush and make an elongated "C" where desired on your cardstock.
Continue "building" your stone wall with several more elongated "C"s.
Give the stone wall some color by mixing a bit of the ink with a good amount of water. This will give you a light grey "wash" that you will use to cover the entire background.
Now add depth to each stone by going back to each stone and add more color, rounding out the other side of your block and filling each stone in with additional layers of color. If your paper becomes saturated with water simply let it dry naturally or hit it with the Heat Tool to speed drying. Continue building color until you are satisfied with your stone wall.
NOTE: Of course you can use more than one color to create your stone wall ~ Weathered Wood; Stormy Sky; Soot; Linen; Walnut Stone will all add depth as they are layered upon each stone. I used only Pumice Stone for this example to help illustrate a way to use this particular color.
And here is a card which incorporates this technique.
The kitten, books (open and closed) and other images were stamped first with Archival Ink. I then masked off the "table" area and created the stone wall around the images.

So, there you go...
