Hi Everybody,This techniques is a lot of fun and no two will ever look the same no matter how hard you try.
Let the inks build up the layers and don't worry about it as you work, but choose the colours that will compliment your image or colour scheme.
The Oxides will dry with a chalky look but once you add the glaze all the under colours will come out and the effect is really lovely.
Have fun as you play ... that is what crafting is all about and you will be amazed at the different effects you will get from other colours
When you make them into cards add embellishments to enhance the colours. Die cut them or make them into strips and weave them. Add other die cuts to them ... especially a large sentiment or simply add flowers as I did with one of mine.
More tomorrow ...
