INK16 Warm-up & Shine For posting in gallery: INK16 W-UP & shine
Warm Up NOW Open for play[/size]: Noon Friday 10/14/16 to Noon Saturday 10/15/16 your time.
Overview: I love the random blending of flowing ink colors as well as some sparkle and shine accents. With this technique you will combine sprays for one-of-a kind results.
Focus for this warm-up is to learn the new technique presented. As with alcohol inked backgrounds these may not look as smashing until you use them as part of a card. But for now the focus is enjoyed some playtime with no time limits and no defined quantity to make…just having fun with mixing spray inks to make a few backgrounds.
Supplies needed for Blended Spray Ink Technique with shimmer: glossy cardstock, spray inks (I used Dylusions) including 1 shimmer spray (I used Heidi Swapp’s gold lame and Ranger’s biscotti perfect pearls mist), water mister, heating tool, empty box for spraying and rags/paper towels/or baby wipes. You are welcome to adapt if you don’t have the exact supplies but please share what products you choose to use.
Technique steps:• Wet glossy cardstock with spray mister.
• Spritz spray inks and let it puddle. Tilt and move paper around allowing the color to run and spread.
• Repeat with another color.
• Repeat with a 3rd color and shimmer mist.
• Dry with heat gun.
Tip--keep a couple extra pieces of paper within reach. If your paper becomes flooded with too much ink dab some off onto a fresh piece of paper.
Gallery Posting: Backgrounds posted in the gallery by the closing time for this warm-up challenge and linked on this discussion thread will be entered into a random RAK drawing.
