There was a terrible disease I had on vacation – shutterbug-itis.  This meant I took photos of everything just to get a few incredible pictures.  The results are some very mediocre photos.  But the memories were fantastic.  So I decided to play around with some of the blah prints.

1.  Scratch lines around shapes in your photo.  Any sharp tool will work.

2.  Rub a gelato on top of the scratches.

3.  Use a tissue to wipe away the excess.  They react to water so I did get mine  slightly damp to wipe.  Be careful not to let the photo get too wet.

4. The water looked too dark for me, so I grabbed a bottle of Tattered Angels Glaze to perk up the water.  A few die cut letters in the sky to balance it out.

After using Adirondak Color Wash I had the overspray left on my counter. Ignore the mess, just notice the ink.  It’s also yesterday’s mess so the in was completely dry.  I sprayed a bit (okay, puddles) of water so the ink would become fluid again.  I went crazy with the texture fades from Tim Holtz and Sizzix a while back so I have a bunch of them waiting for ink.  Perfect surface to suck up inky water.  I just swished them around and used up the color on my counter. 

Naked, waiting for color.
