Hello lovelies! DT Lena here and today I have another direct to paper tutorial for you ( Inspired by Zindorf). Like the last tutorial this one uses Tim Holtz distress inks that you can find in the store at Firefly Crafts.
Step 1:
Rub your ink pad along the top of your paper. Reminder: I use smooth cardstock as it is easier to run ink over). This one is Mustard seed but you can use any yellow.
Step 2:
I used broken China and ran along the bottom half of my paper . It is ok to leave some white areas and ideally you want some so it looks like waves.
Step 3:
I used Mowed lawn green in a sweeping motion upward from bottom so it looks like grass
step 4:
I used Vintage photo on the corner because I thought it would look like an island but it did not. Haha . You can either do this step or skip
Step 5:
I used black soot to ink up my flowers and stamp on bottom. You can use whatever stamps you want for this or leave it as just the water.
Step 6:
I used both Candied Apple and Abandoned Coral and added some streaks to the sky.
Step 7:
Finish card as Desired
I added some birds with a black tip pen and added a sentiment from the Honey Bee Set Thankful.
