Technique Tuesday

I made these examples for my Technique Tuesday this week on OWSE blog: http://craftingwithowse.blogspot.com/2012/01/technique-tuesday-by-judy.html

It all started with TH Lost and Found double sided designer paper.

Example #1

Dry brush Liqutex iridescent pearlescent paint over the blue scrapbook paper.

White gesso over the iridescent paint.
This was done with a hit and miss technique with semi-dry brush of white gesso. Let dry.
Apply Distress Gathered Twig ink over the gesso,
with an inked foam blending tool, then spray with water and heat set to dry.
Apply Distress RipePersimmon ink over the gathered twig inked piece with an inked
foam blending tool, then spray with water and heat set to dry.
Apply Distress Aged Mahogany ink with an
inked foam blending tool, then spray with water and then heat set to dry.
.

I love the results of this and would never dream
 it all started as Tim Holtz scrapbook paper if I hadn't done it myself.

Example #2

Example #3

In example #3; I sprayed Perfect Pearls Mist (Heirloon Gold) over example #2 tag and then heat set to dry.

In OWSE; Ellie asked: Beautiful colors! I am very curious whether it would turn out the same when you start on white CS?

Update:
This morning, I made this example using white card stock and supplies listed above!

Example #4

The possibilities are endless what you can do with your stamping supplies!

Do you love to play with ink and paper?
