Direct to Paper Technique



Lydia has a wonderful tutorial on SCS describing the direct to paper technique! I loved the beachy, weathered board BG she illustrated and was happy with my first attempt! I scored white CS at 1" intervals then swiped Soft Suede ink lengthwise on the panel. I then took a white Colorbox pigment ink pad and smeared it lightly over the panel. I finished it off with a hint of Oasis Green VersaMagic chalk ink. The DP is from DCWV's Linen Closet matstack. The image was stamped in Soft Suede and lightly colored with Copics (E43, YG61, YG63). What else did I use?
STAMPS: "Spring" by MFT
ACCESSORIES: Oval Nesties, Plaid EF by Sizzix, Arrow brad by The Paper Studio, English Ivy border punch by EK Success.
The layout is for My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge in the MFT forum on SCS.
