I recently saw a tutorial on creating cool backgrounds using distress and oxide inks, so I thought I would bring the technique to you!
I used Oxide Inks, found in the new 2018 bundle. They are so pretty, I love them all!
Lay out a piece of cling wrap and begin adding inks, starting with the lightest color first. Spray with water to get the ink nice and loose, but not so much that you make mud.
Lay your watercolor paper on top of the ink pool.
Gather the edges of the wrap so that the ink is nicely encased in the front of the card.
You want to set it aside until dry (about an hour). Don't use a heat gun to dry it quicker, it needs to do it's thing so you can get the cool designs created by the plastic wrap.
I decided that mine looked very much like water, so I stamped some bubbles, using a texture stamp by Unity Stamp Co and adding an octopus. A sentiment, some twine, and sequins finished it off.
Here are a couple more cards that I made, using the same technique. I tuned the space one into a slider card even!
