Okay, this one needs some work, but I enjoyed playing with the background colors. I call this Windswept Leaves.
Another Pinterest find. The technique calls for you to apply your ink to an acrylic blog, mist then swipe across your surface. Takes a little practice to not overdo the mist while having enough moisture to spread.
MISTED BACKGROUND
By Lori Vliegen at elviestudio
Create a background by putting inks on acrylic block, misting with water then swiping across surface.
RECIPE:
Ink: SU – Elegant Eggplant, Chocolate Chip, Always Artichoke, Cherry Cobbler,
Cajun Craze, Tangerine Tango, More Mustard
Memento Tuxedo Black
Stamps: Northwoods Rubber Stamps (Broom), Craftsmart (pumpkins & Oct. 31),
Uknown (spider web, spider, Halloween)
Wanted to try fall colors for a ‘blown leaf’ of color effect.
I wish I'd taken this the step further and used the diluted gesso she suggests in the center before stamping the Halloween. But I'll do this again so can try that next time.
This is great! Thanks for sharing how you did this technique. I think I want to try it. Hugs.
