This Technique Tuesday focuses on ink. As a stamper, ink and paper are the staples of our craft. Ink is a versatile product. I have chosen to use water splatter blotting as a technique.
I cut out my circles using the Layering Circles dies, each a different size, using Basic White cardstock. you could also use the watercolour paper if you would like for this technique.
I then used my blending brushes to ink them with Night of Navy and Pumpkin Pie. I left the dies on the cut circles to give a white halo effect.
After inking the entire circle, I used my waterpainter to flick water over the inked areas and after 2-3 seconds of sitting on the paper, I blotted it off with a tissue. This removes some of the ink and leaves a shadowed splatter effect to the area. You can repeat several times to get more detail like I have.
