happy

Hi all,
Hope you all had a Hoppy Easter.  I love this Tim Holtz bunny... he's always in a hurry!!! I really like
using the brushless water color technique.   Apply the inkpad directly onto a silicone splat mat, mist with water until the ink starts to bead.  Lay a cardstock tag onto the ink making sure not to move the tag round on the mat. Moving the tag around will blend the colors and turn it a muddy brown..  Lift tag and use a heat gun to dry it. You can intensify the colors by either repeating the same process or use an ink dauber and add more color from the inkpad.  For this tag I used Broken china and Scattered straw distress inks. Once the tag is dry you can stamp, spray and distress to your hearts content.  Practise this technique using different amounts of water to get different looks.  The more water you use the more it will dilute the ink giving a watercolor effect.... have fun.
