INKING TREE BRANCHES (variation of Japanese Scroll Art) supplies: SU Ink refill (Water Based Dye) - Close to Cocoa used here, Ink Pads, Small Flower stamp, straw, SU WATER COLOR PAPER 110lbs cold pressed, Opt. Small flower punch (Three for You Punch box ussed here). drop 1 drop of ink on the paper blow gently through the straw to puch the ink in branch-like direction. You can keep pushing the ink for a short while as the watercolor paper does not let the ink soak in as quickly. (if you use SU cardstock, you do not have as much time - but it is possible) let the watercolor paper dry. you can pat the branch image with paper towel to speed up drying. Meanwhile: Stamp out and punch out several small flowers. photo of punched flowers next to dried branch. Here I layered on the flowers. VARIATION: You can also use a vellum overlay if you do not have a punch. It makes a softer piece. Just lay the vellum over the branches and stamp directly onto the vellum. finish up your card! ENJOY!
