No Coloring Required!

A little twist on the technique challenge from Splitcoast… it was actually using Distress ink pads on a craft sheet (or something similar), spritzing with water, which makes the ink bead up, and then dragging your cardstock or tag through it. It gives some beautiful backgrounds!!

There is a good tutorial here.

I don’t know what I was thinking, when I got upstairs, instead of grabbing my Distress pads and dragging them on the craft sheet, I dropped several drops of reinkers, spritzed them and drug the tag through!

This gave it a more bolder look rather than the muted colors. I still love how it turned out! And it’s such a perfect technique for this type of image, especially if you don’t have the confidence to color it!

This is Our Daily Bread designs The Mighty Sea.
You can see I inked up the one side several times and stamped to carry the image to the end of the tag. I did add a little white gel pen to the white caps too.

I hope I’ve inspired you to give this a try… it works with so many stamps, not just scenes, it’s a beautiful background for just a verse too.

So, after thinking about it… I had to do another one, THIS time with the correct way to do the technique! Again, so simple…..try it!

This time I added It Is Well With My Soul and a quote from The Sea.

Thanks for stopping!
