By the Tide Coral Explodes with Blown Ink!
Snorkel not required!
The Twist? on White GLOSSY card stock
It's our first challenge at The Technique Twist Challenge blog
I had a lot of fun trying out this technique and it was so EASY!
It's amazing how the shiny glossy paper and watery colors achieved
a real underwater feel.
You will want to stamp your image with BLACK STAZON on white glossy paper 3 1/2" x 3" and then place 2 drops of reinkers ( Bermuda Bay and Pistachio Pudding ) at the base of the coral.
Use a straw and blow the ink upward moving your straw slightly side to side toward the top of the coral. Let dry for several hours or use a hairdryer to speed up drying time. Stamp the fish image with stazon on a separate piece of glossy paper and use a small drop of reinker and a blender pen to shade in the colors of the fish. Pop up the fish with dimensionals. Cut layers as given toward the end of this post.
Now it's your turn.....

ReplyDeleteLove your choice of colours, and I have enjoyed the blog hop as well, hope to try this technique out soon!
ReplyDeleteThe colors are spot on for ocean water it makes me recall our trip to Cancun, Mexico and how blue the sea water was!!
ReplyDeleteToo bad that SU retired the glossy cardstock, what a shame.
ReplyDeleteThat works so great, love this technique.
ReplyDeletewatercolor paper sounds better!!! Love this idea with this stamp set!
ReplyDeleteYour project makes me want to buy this stamp set! I have been resisting for quite a while, but I think you've pushed me over the edge. Fabulous project!
ReplyDeleteLove how you added the ink to your coral! It looks great!
ReplyDeleteThat has really set the coral off - imagine it would work just as well on photo card. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love your technique, it sort of gives it an under the sea feel. I also like the way the Bermuda Bay and Pistachio Pudding combination turned out.
