MFT July Ingenious Inking--Resistance is Futile

For this month's Ingenious Inking, the design team was challenged to use

different methods and formulas of ink to create resist on our cards and projects.

Here's my project using Peerless Watercolors on an embossed background.

I was totally inspired by this card from Karin. I white embossed Balloon Strings
Background on watercolor paper, then brushed water across the surface.

I picked up different colors from the Peerless swatches with a waterbrush
and painted in the different areas. The embossing not only resists the ink,
but forms a barrier that keeps the color within the embossed lines.

I chose a birthday sentiment since we're still celebrating MFT's 9th birthday,

and finished off the card with a few enamel dots.

Stop by the MFT blog to see the other designers who took on the resist challenge.

MFT Ingenious Inking--Watercolor Wash

 

Today I'm joining the MFT design team for my first Ingenious Inking Challenge.
Our challenge is to create a watercolor wash on our project using inkpads and/or reinkers.

If you already have them on hand, MFT's dye based inkpads and reinkers
are the perfect medium for watercoloring, and they come in a rainbow of colors, too.

For my card, I used several inkpads to create the ombré rainbow background.
Tap the inkpad color on an acrylic block to use as your palette. Add water, depending
on the intensity or opacity of color that you want.

The surface was prepped with water, then color was added over it. The water

allows the colors to blend and mix to form new colors. After it was dried, I stamped the

sentiment, flicked on some white ink, and finished off the card with sequins and twine.

Visit the MFT blog for links to other design team members, and see how
they interpreted the challenge. If you want to play along, be sure to tag
your project(s) #MFTStamps and share on social media--we'd love to see!
