Squirrely Challenge - Colorful Silhouttes


 I've challenged the Squirrel Girls to try this fun technique from the Technique Junkie Newsletter, August 2011.

The original directions call for using dye inks, which I have used on the top card (Distress Ink) but I thought I would mix it up a bit and try other coloring methods. 

I started the fish background with some Distress Stains on my craft sheet, spritzed a little water then "smooshed" the cardstock around in it.  I thought the colors would look great with the fish image.

supplies:
Paper: Club Scrap
Inks: Distress Ink, Distress Stain
Stamps: stampin' up, A Stamp in the Hand

Oh wow, I love these! The fish with those circles is fabulous. And love the daisies with that background. Can't wait to get started.
