This time I used a colored piece of paper towel itself to create a background instead of transferring the inks to a background.
Here's my card:
Using Paper Towel, Die-cutting, and Stamping
[How I made this card]
1. Spritzed water on a piece of paper towel, sprinkled Black Brusho over it, and spritzed more water to make colored paper towel. Black Brusho turns into various colors when reacting to water.
2. Dried the colored paper towel, peeled it into two pieces, and wrapped one piece around a 4-1/4" x 5-1/2 white card stock.
3. Die-cut 2 pieces of rectangular panels and stamped the sentiment in blue on the bigger panel.
4. Glued the paper towel panel onto the card base, popped up the rectangular panels on the paper towel piece with foam tape.
5. Die-cut the herbs and glued them across the panels.
I liked how the Brusho colored paper towel turned out. It looks like a stormy summer sky, doesn't it?
