Victorian Bouquet Starburst Stains

Oh dear, you're not going to believe me but this is another of my favourites and includes one of my favourite individual colours too, the sweet violet purple teal, yep, purple and teal all in the same jar! If you are on a budget and would like to try one dauber bottle that is dramatic, then this is the one to go for! See the shimmer in the picture above, oh yum, it gets me every time! The set of 5 contains:

Canna Lily Burnt Orange, Hydrangea Blue, Lucky Shamrock Green, Ramblin’ Rose Pink, Sweet Violet Purple Teal.

For the 1st and 3rd cards I embossed first then sprayed allowing the stains to pool in the embossing.

The 2nd card has been sprayed after splodging on the bottom panel to co-ordinate with the sprayed top triangle. I painted a BBQ skewer with Stazon ink (I did wear gloves for this!), and then wound gold mitzuhiki cord around it.

The 4th picture shows the shimmer that is usually difficult to capture on camera, as I said before, it is just yummy!

Starburst Stains and Japanese Mini Stamps

I made this card for our last TV show Japanese Gardens.

It has the scrunch technique at the side (that I'll explain another time) and shows how the blobs dry when this technique is used with the stains instead of the Moonshadow Inks.

I embossed the plum blossom first randomly all over the piece of card then added blobs of the stain and let them blend together. Some of the stain has caught in the embossed design. This gives a different finish rather than embossing onto a piece of ready prepared stained card.
