Hello! I finally got the new summer distress inks in the mail, so I just had to play with them. They are super duper fun and really vibrant colors! I started this card by making my background with tumbled glass and broken china distress inks. While the ink was still wet I flicked on some water to make the little specks. {looks like real water this way} I stamped the Fishie stamp from MarketStreetStamps 3 times and used the new summer distress ink to color them. I just blot some ink onto my craft sheet and squirt some perfect pearls and water mixture into each ink to make a shimmery "paint". Then I just painted on the colors with paint brushes. You can see the shimmer better here...
I filled in the bubbles {also from Fishie} with a sakura glitter pen and added glossy accents over top of it to make the bubbles...bubblier :) I did the same thing on the dots in the sentiment that is also from the adorable Fishie set from MarketStreetStamps. Oh, and I added glossy accents to their eyes....EEK I just think this Fishie set is so super cute, and it's only 5 bucks!
PSST...Market Street Stamps has a mini release, and it's adorable! :)
