So glad you liked this film :) It’s a great fun technique, you get different results from different card stocks and varying the amount of colour you add.

I would recommend putting the colour wash into mini mister bottles. The original bottles are great but do spray for miles!!! An empty grocery box would be ok to spray into but will also quickly saturate with ink. The box I’m spraying into is a cat litter tray! Needless to say we don’t have cats! but it did give a large enough area to take a whole sheet of A4 paper/card in the base ;)

Have fun with this technique, its quite random in the results but makes great backgrounds to stamp onto.

Best wishes

Billie :)

Loved this video. The papers are just beautiful. I will have to pick up some of the Adirondack Color washes and give this a go. I really love the ways the papers came out.
