Hello every one and happy Scrappy Day :)

Today I have a LO with a simple tutorial

to show, based on art from over at
 ARTastic.
 

....First the finished LO

 

inspired by this fantastic Art

ARTastic challenge Criteria Febuary: Paint and Ink

 

Some closies too

 

 

 

 

 Here is how I made the Back ground on white Bazzill

 

Products : Spray Ink and Ink pads,mini mister, gesso,

Glue and Seal,Black crackle paint and stencils.

 

My Tip:

Before you start using the ink, add Glue and Seal in

a thin layer onto the Bazzill/cardstock to avoid the ink

"running" into it when using stencils.

 

Here are some tricks to create different patterns on the

back ground using Ink and cracle paint

 

Dab the ink pad onto a Teflon craft sheet, spray with water

using  mini mister (or a regular spray bottle) until you

see droplets in the ink. 

Carefully spread the cardstock paper you have previously

oated with the glue and seal, on top to get the impression

of the ink onto the card.

Dry with heat tool before adding a new layer of ink.

Before starting with a new colour,

wipe the Teflon stain resistant craft sheet clean.



 

Here I sprayed with black ink straight on to the stain resistant

  sheet and added water with the mister. I then created

a spiral pattern with a craft tool like a ice lolly wood stick.

Like above, I lightly spread the Bazzill over the wet ink

to create a new pattern on top of the blue pattern print.

Remember to let it dry or use a heat tool. 

This is what it looks like when dry.

 

 

I did the same with red Ink, and created a squiggly pattern 

 

When I had dried the red pattern on the Bazzill, I added

black crackle paint using the Prima " crackle" stencil

and dried it with a heat tool.

 

I finished by adding the last stencil with the leaf pattern

using white gesso and blue ink spray, which gives

lovely different shades of blue in the pattern.


 

....and here is the end result creating a background on

the Bazzill card stock.

Tip:

Use Glue and Seal on cardstock before you start with the ink.

Remember to dry completely.

Trick:

The trick is to be "light handed" when spreading the

card stock onto the different patterns of wet ink

on the stain resistance craft sheet.

Techniques:

Here I have only showed you a few ways to use ink .

There are no limits of techniques you can use to create

different  patterns using spray or ink pads.

Just be creative and have fun!
