\n<\/a><\/span><\/strong>This is also for\u00a0the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC648) & THIS<\/a> was my inspiration.<\/span><\/p>\n

To make my\u00a0card, I used a background I made quite a while ago. It’s a technique I learned around 1999 (yikes!). Easy & fun to do. All you need is white glossy or semi-glossy card stock (it needs to have a coated surface) & art tissue that bleeds when wet. Not all tissue paper will do this, so check what you have first. I have some Spectra Art tissue & I know it bleeds so that’s what I used. Pick some colors you like but be aware that contrasting colors (like red & green) will make brown. Tear some pieces & place them on your card stock then mist it w\/ water. Wait a minute or two then remove the tissue & let it dry. You want to leave the tissue on long enough to bleed the color onto the c\/s but not long enough to dry there, or it will stick.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After it dried, I placed it into my Misti & stamped the mailbox image on top. I wanted it a bit darker so I coated it w\/ black embossing powder & heated. I used a white Posca paint pen to add the white dots to the flowers & border around it.<\/p>\n
