What a fantastic technique that I would never have thought of myself. Thank you ❤❤

[@lindastubbington6105]

Really looking forward to this series Lou. I've only tried a few mixed media techniques but it's so freeing. Love the texture created with this tag and how different the before and after water spritz looks.

I’ve always been a “clean” card maker, but you’ve opened my eyes to the endless possibilities. Thank you so much. Karen

[@jimandpegzeleznik19]

Love this look! Great technique. Thanks for sharing!

[@teripatterson1513]

Love this new series! I can't wait to try them out, Thank you for sharing your art ideas.😂

I much prefer mixed media on cards to the current clean and simple style that is so popular. I start out trying to make clean and simple but my mind and my eye keep "telling me" that I need to add more. This particular technique demonstrates one of my favorite features of the Distress Inks line - when you spritz the background the colors magically pop and move. I love color and am always looking for ways to work more into my cards. Thanks for a great series.

Thanks, Lou. Pretty happy with my result. Still need a bit of practice though to get it to look as good as yours 😉

Beautiful Tfs ❤😊

[@minawhite]

Wow, what a transformation with just a bit of water! I always worry of "ruining" things by adding water, but I've got to try this one for sure!

[@sophiemsmply4you572]

👍✌️🙏❤

[@cherieb.5409]

Thank you for sharing this. I have a hard time figuring out how to get these looks 😊

[@LouCollins]

Hopefully this has made it a bit simpler for you. We often see these backgrounds with a tonne of embellishments on top so its even harder to work out how it was created!
