Watercolour week - Sylvie

Hi, 
Here's another water colouring technique for backgrounds using Distress inks. Sylvie has made four colourful cards and is taking you through the process step by step. Many of you will know this technique, but we often have newbies who will now enjoy making backgrounds this way. 

Cut 4 pieces of white card the same size. 

Press your Distress ink pads on your craft sheet, spray water and press your white card onto the inked mat.
Repeat with other cards and different colours.
You can place your cards under a heavy book to keep it flat

Stamp the JOFY images with Archival ink and colour them. 

Once again, you can press your Distress inkpads onto your craft sheet, pick up the ink with a wet brush and paint as you would with watercolour. Sylvie used Promarkers... Copic markers would work too as well as Inktense watercolour pencils. 

Cut your cards in 3, 4, 6 or 8 pieces and glue them onto black cardstock leaving a 2mm space between the pieces of card.

Mat and mount this onto more inked background or book pages
