Our new challenge at Try It On Tuesday is 'ADD SOME TEXT'.
Normally I use acetate for smooshing as I like to see where it's going but thought I'd try it directly from the craft mat for this.
Once the paper was dry, I used a very old tree stamp (that old I have no idea where it came from!) and began to build up the 'forest'.
I used Distress Oxides in shades of Lucky Clover, Shabby Shutters and Bundled Sage. I spritzed the inked up stamp each time before using in the hope that I'd achieve a misty effect!
The sentiment is from Inkylicious - another I have had for a long time but rarely used.
Finished with one of Inkylicious bird stamps and mounted onto black card.
Hope you will share a creation with us this challenge and thanks for looking today! x

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely card Viv...you sure have all these inky techniques under your belt! I love your misty trees on your smooshed sky and that sentiment is really lovely too! xx
ReplyDeleteYou always have such inspirational posts. This card is lovely. I feel the need now to get out my craft mat just smoosh it with some ink pads,spritz with water and see where all those strips of paper I had arrive in the post take me. I could be some time!! hugs Mrs a.
