Distress & citroensap
Distress ink can be used for so many things, and there is no secret that I
just love Distress reinkers on mini-misters. And, the first tutorial from the
ARTsy-team just had to involve these mini misters from Rangers, and we hope this
tutorial inspires you to much fun and awesome backgrounds in the future. This
technique is so easy, and the colors are lasting for several backgrounds.
Here's what you need...
DC1
1. Mini misters from Ranger
2. 2-3 colors of Distress reinkers
3. Sicilia Lemon Juice
4. Non-stick matte
5. Heatgun
6. Cardboard approx. 200-300 gr (not watercolor paper)
First a tip when it comes to reinkers and mini misters...
Use 2 full pimpettes with reinkers on the mini misters, and add water until there is approx 1 cm left to the top...
If you want some glitter, add some perfect pearls. But, be aware that you must only add a little bit, as the bottle clogs easily.
First of all, cut your cardboard to the size you wish to use. Do not use watercolor paper, as this paper absorbes to much color. I have used a cardboard without structure 270 gr from Papirgalleriet/Norway design, but there is so many different paper that can be used. Testing makes perfect!
I have used the colors "broken china", "peeled paint" and "dusty concord". Use one and one color, and it's not important witch you beginn with. Your whole cardboard must be covered with inks.
I always do this on a non-stick matt, as the cardboard must be covered allover with the inks. Otherwise, you will not get the right effect. Dripp one and one drop of Lemonjuice over the cardboard and you will get a "blending solution&alcholhol ink"-effect.
use your heatgun to dry the background, and you will see even more effects.
At last I use tissue to remove rest of the inks on the sides.
Dry background ready for use.
