What's On Wednesday

Hey Peeps!! Anita here with my WOW for this month & I'm passing on a

technique that the awesome Ebony van der Starre showed me a few months ago -

 Tea Bagging!!!!

 I love the tea colours, but was thinking out aloud to the girls at my table & I said 

"Wouldn't it be awesome if they made coloured tea bags?!"

They laughed & thought I was joking - but I was quite serious LOL.

With using the tea bag - it's best to leave it to go cold & scungy

(so that the colour gets really deep).

But as I said - I wanted to have coloured tea splats!!!

So I have developed this technique a little bit...

 

You will need:

- Some rubber gloves (unless you don't mind coloured fingers)

- Dylusions Ink Spray (whatever colour/s you like)

- White cardstock 

- Heat gun

- Green Tea bags (I know you'd all have some in the cupboard - cause if your like me you     should be having that instead of the 3rd cup of coffee to keep you going LOL - you'll have plenty!!)

I worked out that by using Green Tea bags & not letting them sit & go scungy,

 I can add a few drops of Dylusions Spray Ink to make 

COLOURED TEA SPLATS!!!!!!!!!

So get yourself all set up & ready. Add some warm water, your tea bag & a few

drops of whatever Dylusions Ink you'd like. Give it a bit

of a mix around with the tea bag & SPLAT AWAY!!!

Give it a dry with your heat gun. You could always pat it dry with some paper towel,

but I like the effect you get with the heat gun & giving the it time to dry. It kinda of

creates layers of colours. Give first colour a good dry before adding another colour

to you page.

 & repeat...

Here's the finished product!!

 I love how the puddles pool & when they dry have lots of depth to them.

Below are a few samples of this technique...

So if you don't have any Dylusions Ink Spray in your scrappin' stash - 

head on over to the shop & grab some!!!!
