The Glittered Poppleberry

Hi friends, Today I wanted to share with you a tag I made using a mop up sheet. This is a large tag because I wanted to use lots of the background, I thought it was really pretty. The three distress oxide colours used were faded jeans, broken china and peeled paint. I created this background using the oxides, water and a piece of polly pocket. The technique to create the background is easy to recreate. First you smear one of the ink pads onto a glass mat, then spray the ink with water. then dab your piece of polly pocket into the ink and then you can be more precise with your ink smooshing. Keep building up the layers by drying in between colours and layers of ink. You press the un-inked side of the plastic to the areas you want the ink, you can make some lovely effects that could be difficult to create if you cannot see what goes where. I saw this technique on Kristina Werners youtube channel, it can be accessed here .  Definitely worth a watch, she is very inspirational. ...

Hello hello! Here we are again, today's offering is very different from  yesterday. I made this journal page with nothing in mind, I just went with it . To start I used 2 distress oxide colours on my cardstock. I smear them one by one onto my glass Mat and spray with water. Then I take my page to the wet ink. This makes a more splattered effect and the distress oxide layers so well. I dried my page after each layer of colour.  Remember to dry inbetween to avoid making mud on your page.  Keep adding layers until you are happy with the saturation of colour.  Next I found some alphabet stickers and made the word 'deep'. I covered this word using the distress oxides in the orange and blue again, this ensures everything ties in together. I used some of my beautiful 'Visible image stamps. I stamped the seaweed with versafine bl ack ink and covered it with chocolate coloured 'wow 'embossing powder. The 'beauty' is also part of   sentime...
