Inky Skies

There was a great tutorial on the 

Close To My Heart blog HERE.

They called it All-Purpose Mat Color Splat.

That post inspired me to play around with the technique.

Here is the result of one of my favorite pieces from the

art experiments.

To create the background I just swiped my Glacier Ink Pad across my craft mat.

Then I swiped the Olive Ink Pad.

Next I sprayed a bit of plain water on it with my Spray Pen.

(These pens give off the perfect mist.)

Next I laid a piece of Colonial White Cardstock on top of the inked up mat.

This is the result. 

I love the softness of it.

When it was dry, I stamped the tree,

 from Always Grateful,

in Cocoa Ink. 

The background cardstock is from the Whimsy Fundamentals packet.

The sentiment is from the Big Hug.

Hugs to you my faithful readers!
