I’ve used a mixture of Spectrum Noir’s Aqua pens and Spectrum Sparkle pens but these techniques will work with your other water based pens including Distress Markers by Tim Holtz. Also I have used a mixture of watercolour card and Sheena stamping card which both work well.
Techniques in this part include:
- Scribble onto mat, spritz and pat
- Scribble onto acrylic block, spritz and drag
- Air brush – with and without stencils
- Salt Technique
- Cling Film Technique
Scroll past the video for photos…
1. Scribble your colours onto a non-porous surface (such as you craft mat, or a piece of acetate), spritz with water and then use your card to mop it up. I dried the first layer of colour and went back for a second round.
2. Scribble onto an acrylic block. Spritz water onto the block and onto the card and then drag the colour through.
3. Using an air brush spray your colours down (I just have the hand held one by Tim Holtz). I then laid a stencil and air brushed a sparkle pen on top. BONUS: The second image is then spritzing water onto the stencil and rubbing it off onto a another background.
4. Colours were scribbled on randomly and plenty of water applied to get the colours moving. I helped them along with a paintbrush to get them blending. Then I chucked on some sea salt and left to dry naturally. Once dry rub off the salt and you’re left with this beautiful organic look.
5. Like the last background, scribble on your colours, get plenty wet and use a paintbrush the push the colours up to each other. Crumple up a piece of cling film so there’s plenty of creases and squash it onto your card. You should see darker lines forming in the seams. Leave it to dry that way.
