Another Look At Water Colouring With Distress Ink, Changing Your Sub Straights...….. What Happens ?

Good Morning / Afternoon or Maybe Evening. Welcome A few weeks ago, I wrote a blog on using your Distress Inks to water colour with, and how easy the result were. I fell in love with the technique and have many more examples planned. I decided to change my water paper as Bristol (Strathmore) can work out expensive and many of you including me have far more standard water colour paper.

Masking an ink blended background for a 1 layer card!

  Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. I have taken another class over on the Altenew Academy and it was a class where I got to use the Altenew Masking paper. I have had it in my stash for a while, but I hadn't gotten around to use it. But it inspired me for todays card by masking a background for a 1 layer card. I'm not one for making 1 layer cards, and yes technically the heat embossed sentiment on this card is popped up on a little bit of foam, but otherwise the...
