K - here is another one of the techniques I used on last weeks cards...
This card background ....
Was made using the following WAY easy technique....
Supplies:
Paper
Distress Stain
Water
Heat Tool
Instructions:
1. Squeeze out a nice puddle of ink onto one sheet of cardstock.
2. Cover with a second piece of cardstock and smoosh!
3. Peel the papers apart ~ your paper will probably start to curl immediately...no worries, we'll fix that!
You can either squirt the paper/ink as soon as you peel it apart which is what I did for this piece of paper. You can heat it while you're squirting the water to move the water/ink around as you like. Makes for some really cool designs!
OR
You can dry the ink almost completely then squirt with water for a nifty water mark look design.
You get two amazing background sheets for the work of one!
What I love about this technique is that it is so quick and easy.
You can take half an hour and make several sheets of background paper at once.
You wanna know the best part about this technique...they always turn out looking great!
Now, it's your turn...go get inky!!
Your card is great!!!)
