Is a warm Sunday morning again! Anybody else over this weather now? Like where’s the snow?
It’s Sunday and that means Video time. I am hoping to get more videos available to you more frequently however due to all the cutting out of little elements etc it’s not always feasible. I am working on it though!
Today’s card is using a very messy technique which I’m sure you’ve all see before. I have used the Ink Wash technique on a couple of up coming projects, however one project being my August Cards Swaps and until I know everyone has received them I don’t want to spoil the surprise! So you’ll just have to wait a little longer for that one.
Today’s card is using a base of Smoky Slate with the Ink Wash effect done is Bermuda Bay. I love this two colours today’s, they really complement each other really well, don’t you agree?
As the video below demonstrates, I applied the ink of directly to our acrylic block and applied water by using one on the mister. I tend to apply enough water so that you can no longer see the outline of the ink pad. Simply add the card stock onto the block to absorb the ink. Each time you do this you’ll achieve a different effect.
Just wait for it to dry and then add any embellishment you wish. Today’s card was a second attempt and the main card originally for this post is shown in the video. As always the list of products used are down below.
