A wonderful accident happened this week which lead to this posting. We had a leak in our store and water got sprayed from the leak on to paper we had used during class with Distress ink. The end result is the photo you are looking at.So to start these instructions use a few colours of Ranger's Distress Inks combine colours on card stock with a distressing tool and foam.Using the technique best described as flicking (as opposed to spritzing) water on the patch of ink and allowing the area to naturally dry. On a clean piece of card stock suitable for pro markers stamp Under Constructions old car with Black Soot (Ranger's Distress Ink) Allow this image to dry or set the ink with your heat tool. The car was coloured with a base of sand and a dark brown and red.,highlights were added with grey and a silver gel pen. Stamp Under Construction's Birch Trees three times on a separate piece of card stock.Use a grey marker just to highlight the lines that are already there. Cut out all of the images you have stamped and coloured.Arrange trees and vehicle with some of the trees behind the car and one in front of the back end. Mount the entire creation on a navy piece of card stock. If you decide to change the arrangement add glitter for a winter vibe.
