Bizzy Bec's DT Gilded Watercolour Distress Ink

Hi there friends! Another learning curve today, with my DT post for Bizzy Bec's Online craft store. I saw this tissue watercolour method over at Loll's blog (see here) with crumpled and embossed highlights. Wow, is it fun!!

Here's a wee peek.

First of all, use some ordinary tissue paper, mine was bit imperfect, second hand, from a present received who knows when. 😉

1. Select inks ( you can use most sort, but water-based blend best), I took some Distress Inks - varying sheets made as you can see.
  (Current card used Dried Marigold, Abandoned Coral, Fossilized Amber, Fired Brick.) 

2. Smoosh inks randomly on blending mat (mine is a lid from takeaway). As used mini DI, didn't have blocked colours. (if using large ink pads, Loll suggests mixing colours for better blending with a spatula).

3. Then spritz inks with water, layer gently the tissue paper over the inks. Once coloured lift **carefully (it IS fragile at this stage) put on paper towel, or in my case, on junk mail!! I use it a lot in crafting, the tissue dries well on it and lifts up easily.

 This method is really effective economical watercolour, especially if learning the technique. The card I made used the next step, also.

4.  For this, scrunch up the dried tissue paper then with wet glue, I used tacky, glue it to some card, as attaching press to emphasize the raised areas of scrunching. Allow to dry.

 

5. Use on finished sheet the embossing anti static pad - used my home made one here. Cover well, then smooth (lightly and evenly) over Versamark ink pad to catch crinkle highlights. Sprinkle Stampendous Gold detail EP. Remove any Embossing powder where you dont want it with fine brush, before heat setting. 

Attach to card base.

 6. Next comes Die cutting.
Used Sue Wilson Thank You Die and  Spellbinders Dies - used is Heirloom Legacy 5" x 7" die ( I bought it from Bec so maybe ordered from Bec, upon request).

To layer Die cuts and to see how to do this easily, see this post here.

Here is completed card, assembled.. I edged the bottom deckle edge of the card with some gold embossing powder too. 

Love this technique will be revisiting it!! Hope you enjoy it too.
