Hello, how are you doing? Hope things are going well! Today is a new challenge at Color Hues and if you checked earlier you may have seen my incomplete post. Photos only! I unfortunately have COVID and am quite a bit under the weather. But as you can see, I have some jewel tones of blue and green to brighten your day!
This card uses a technique called ink lifting which begins a background inked and blended on heavy card stock. I use Vicki Boutin Foundations Mixed Media and DOX inks. After it was thoroughly dry, I heat embossed the Spring Flowers background stamp (SSS) in white.
Going in to some of the flowers and buds with a damp paintbrush removed ink and brought out gradations of wonderful hues that vary according to the amount of water.
I love this effect and will be using this again. It takes a bit of time but the effort is worth it. Thanks for visiting!
