Today, I'm showing you how to create two colorful backgrounds with a splash of color and a kiss. I'll be featuring images from Sheena's new fabulous release - by the way, we have a blog hop going on where you can win the set of your choice at Crafter's Companion.
This really cool tree is from the Sheena A Little Bit Oriental EZMount Stamp Set - Oriental Silhouette. I'm using the same technique I did for the blog hop, with a little twist - or should I say kiss. I inked up the tree image with a Faber Castel Big Brush pen and stamped onto High Gloss Cardstock. The pen is filled with India ink which is alcohol ink friendly - won't smudge.
For the splash, I dropped colors of Spectrum Noir Ink Refills - BT5, LV2 and TB5 and blew the colors around with a straw.
I completed the card by layering it on a white and complimentary colors.
For the second background, I used an image from Sheena's A Little Bit Scenic - Silhouette Highlands set. Since the alcohol ink was dry, it was ok to use permanent ink pad to stamp the image.
I used a couple other images from the set and a watermark ink pad to create a subtle boarder on the background layer.
