Thinking of You

Hello again! I'm back with another fun card I just had to make after seeing it demo'd. It's a really cool technique using a gel press, Catherine Pooler inks and tissue paper.

I used my Aquatini ink pad and "stamped it on the shorter end of my gel press. I then took my Party Dress ink pad and added it next to and slightly on top of the other color.  I took my brayer and rolled over the colors to blend and then took my tissue paper and rubbed the ink into it.

I did the above steps a second time to get a more saturated color on the paper.  I attached it to a piece of white cardstock using liquid glue and let it dry.  Once it dried I added some other images on top and then die cut it with a dotted rectangle die.

I'm loving the way this card turned out and this is the first card EVER that I got a perfect knotted bow!! I fussy cut out the flower image after I water colored them.  I used the same colors as the background and added in Pixie Dust to have a bit of the purple that is blended on the background

So, you really want to use plain white tissue paper if you have it.  The only white tissue paper the dollar store carries as sparkles on it.  I like the way it turned out but they do stick to the gel press and brayer.
