Did you see this fabulous new stamp from Technique Junkies during the July 2019 release blog hop last week? This is called Strong, Humble and Brave. Several of my friends are part of a Brave Girls club, and this message exemplifies what they are all about. I wanted to have a fun multicolored background to go with this strong message.
I used some Distress Oxide inks and smooshed them onto my craft mat, and then I sprayed some water over the inks. I laid a piece of photo paper - not glossy paper but actual photo paper - onto the inks and then lifted it off. The photo paper captures the inks, but you can't see the vibrancy right away. There is a cloudy film that is left on the paper by the oxide inks. I used a baby wipe to remove the cloudy film and that's when the vibrant color of the inks exploded.
After my inky background was completely dry, I stamped this Strong, Humble and Brave with permanent black ink (Versafine Clair Nocturne). It takes a while for this ink to dry on photo paper (about 5 or 10 minutes) so I set it aside before I smudged anything. Once I was sure it was completely dry, I adhered it to my card.
