I have learned another new technique that I would like to share: Straw Blowing.
For this card: I cut a piece of glossy paper the size I needed.
I dropped three drops of one color of re-inker.
Then I blew on the drops of ink through a straw, indifferent directions.
I repeated this process two more times with two other colors.
I blotted off excess, then rubbed with a tissue.
When it was completely dry, I stamped with a silhouette stamp, ( Hero Arts) using Black Momento Ink.
I used these colors: SU! Pool Party, Lucky Limeade, and Island Indigo.
I hope you like this technique as much as I do!
I was challenged to do this technique on Splitcoaststampers, post #3853.
They provided links to tutorials also.
