- Distress inks, Inka Gold paste, metal work, advanced Cuttlebug etc, plus Katzelkraft stamps!
No Metal work nor Cuttlebug today Hilda, but a watercolouring technique with Distress inks.
And as we are talking about Distress inks ... you have won TWO distress ink pads of your choice (or, if you have them all, you can chose some re-inkers) and a couple of waterbrushes (the detailer one and the medium)
Please, get in touch and we will send this to you ASAP so you can try this technique (maybe for the challenge?)
Poupette is our tutorial fairy today. Here's what she has done for you. Hope you like it.
Don't forget to come back tomorrow and Friday to see more samples.
Stamp your image with the Versamark onto watercolour paper
Emboss the stamped image using (clear for this one) embossing powder
Using your favourite mister, spray some water on the embossed image
Take your favourite Distress ink colours and a waterbrush
Add some ink in the lid, pick it up with the brush and ...
apply the ink onto the sprayed card. The colour will spread because of the water you have sprayed previsouly
Keep the image next to you, it will be easier to see where to apply the different shades
Repeat for the leaves
Here is the same flower embossed with gold embossing powder and coloured with warmer colours
And again, the same image embossed in white this time
The finished card
For this tutorial, Poupette used
