I hope you will <a href="https://anncard.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">check out her blog and the project she has created for the challenge</a>.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhppptLuP7yanfMJoRWDFLwuKnNzxtcPWc2HgeVJyP-4HvjFf97AGiwcBNpIqcHmEZoLFbd-xEVJZ3ffnVc9TYppWUEPuU8SWpd6BD_lhoEPAmPEqGAuhqrbh7ttt0oW5Jf_TFgYTnk1Yv7yoOeI6WlBUXQ0Dpeha8lL-ETIghFcCr3RF8i1pkUtb0Bs6_C/s780/infusions-scrapbooking-tutorial-b-layers-of-ink.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Layers of ink - Infusions colored stains background by Anna-Karin Evaldsson." border="0" data-original-height="780" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhppptLuP7yanfMJoRWDFLwuKnNzxtcPWc2HgeVJyP-4HvjFf97AGiwcBNpIqcHmEZoLFbd-xEVJZ3ffnVc9TYppWUEPuU8SWpd6BD_lhoEPAmPEqGAuhqrbh7ttt0oW5Jf_TFgYTnk1Yv7yoOeI6WlBUXQ0Dpeha8lL-ETIghFcCr3RF8i1pkUtb0Bs6_C/s16000/infusions-scrapbooking-tutorial-b-layers-of-ink.jpg" title="Layers of ink - Infusions colored stains background by Anna-Karin Evaldsson." /></a></div><p>I started out making an art journal page, but wanted to add more dimension than what I like to have in my art journals and decided to work on a lose page instead.

You need very little. Use two or three colors per paper. Mist with more water for blending and leave some areas with less water, for more texture. You can dab the paper with paper towel to remove some of the brown specs before they dissolve.

I also found some very old heart beads on my desk, which I added to the tag. If you don't want to make a tag, the techniques work just as well for cardmaking. If you make the hearts less dimensional, they will also fit into an art journal or on a scrapbooking page.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitxEmRXyxP02DG2Tui5CRF24MqrENBVDimm5zelLRK1vpPmNeTz8eiUCqgi_xrf5P-F3jsyaIFZPOSoXgs6dNY0KwwVPS38VC_Zrah6K8HG70VDxjDTfkS7Tayl_CVdGPPzcOtI4j0JMOuXXEacI8X25Or906Zjk75819hLP48zdztokblqGE2CtmzIvny/s600/hearts1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Layers of ink - Many Hearts Tag Tutorial by Anna-Karin Evaldsson.

I haven't done paper weaving for many years and it was a lot of fun. I tied twine around all the edges of the cards, as a frame. The twine was recycled from a parcel that I received and has a nice rugged texture. Other recycled parts of these cards are the old book and dictionary papers, as well as various small scrap papers. The little birds have nests of cheese cloth. I used an unusual die to for the background, namely <a href="http://shrsl.com/4dy03" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Simon Says Stamp So Many Candles</a>. I love to use dies in ways they might not have been intended for. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFH138aLGf5ZIL7k8DhjOemb5kdNULhYJbw3i8czTBtl0g-WTYIN0SEs_EGwcXcpTloJ6xcCBDM2YX7GXL6OApSuV_gTykZFexhl9xMnTMOECg-gHawA0xviMVx5oPDpOeHcGiY0UUrz6i8UhNuk5qO5VEGWekPGB1BK-uXOgPmGFYUmuOyolungG9zFn4/s600/woven-paper1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Layers of ink - Woven Paper Card Tutorials by Anna-Karin Evaldsson.

And sentiments of course. The car stamp that I used has a lot of solid areas and a large solid shadow under the car which can make it a challenge when you want a car in a bright color. The shadow would look weird if it was the same red as the rest of the car. One of my favorite techniques solves this, namely overstamping. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV2irCPOi3_TMiY7V7q4QloyiSfIYQ29L1fir6jKljyhQDPZ-7bVNXgrnZDs9_056cRskHiEs9qNTQn6SqHLGd-9V546ROlK27-CxSZTGGPx7F9qkDwUTdtE_aRdbrj3nv-lyUDlfLXAjVzOAuEKy4aqV4Mu-UCPd_6R9tIrBp7idZkxZPbvCxUUloeoWl/s600/roadtrip1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Layers of ink - Road Trip Card Tutorial by Anna-Karin Evaldsson.
