Here's what you need:
- Spritzer Bottle
- Walnut Ink
- Brush
- 140 lb Arches Cold Watercolour paper
- Distress Embossing Powder
- Tea Dye
- Fired Brick
- Schminke Tro-Col- Gouache - Copper
- Little Bitty Scoop
- Heat Gun
Instructions:
- Mix up the strongest batch of Walnut ink you possibly can. Make
sure all the crystals are dissolved. - Spritz a piece of watercolour paper with water.
- Begin brushing the Walnut Ink over the paper.
- Before the Walnut ink dries, begin randomly sprinkling Distress
Embossing Powder on the surface. - Sprinkle Tro-Col Copper onto the surface. If the surface has begun
to dry, spritz it again as you don't want everything to blow off
when you begin heat setting. - Heat set a small area at a time, working your way over the entire
surface of the paper. - You will have wonderful texture! Don't worry if some of the Distress
Embossing Powder flakes off. It's meant to do that! - Have fun!!!
Totally fabulous!!!!
