We started this project by creating a colorful background using Ranger's Distress Oxide Inks. Have you tried the new blending brushes? They're amazing to work with. We splattered the background with white ink using a splatter brush. The white ink really pops just like the words that are embossed with white embossing powder. We didn't want a white outline around our flowers like you get when you diecut so we cut them out with a detail scissors, a must have if you want to cut fine detail. We then watercolored the flowers using the same ink. Watercoloring with Distress Inks gives you a more traditional watercolor effect. Do this by daubing a bit of distress ink on a surface like freezer paper and then use your waterbrush to pick up the color and paint.
