Wow I like. What if you stamped something on top like a butterfly or flower and cut if out. You could do you colors so they would work with that. Have a good week Lindsay!!!

I know you make your own spray inks. Is the recipe you used the one you have that says Lindsay’s resist spray recipe, or if not, can you send the recipe you used for this video. I LOVE this technique.

This is a great technique. It is always a surprise how it will turn out. I have sprinkled rock salt on the wet paint and get a similar effect. Thanks for the time you take to get us all rocking with paint!

I love doing this technique with children. Once they have mellowed out… 😉 , I could punch out flowers from my Big Shot, for them to do another simple “chill out” activity, making a card. Thanks, my Maine friend!

Lindsey….I tried this with my Tombow markers without luck. So, I guess those are not the right ones? Or maybe my watercolor paper wasn’t the right kind? Any ideas? The water didn’t really do much except on the area with the blue marker.

I used regular cheap cardstock, maybe the Tombows don’t lift as much as others.

I do this a lot, Lindsay! I’ve not done it with a brush (that’s really cool) but I flick water onto it with my fingers. It’s lovely to hold it up and let it run, too! I’ve done it with my Dylusions spray inks and also with blended distress inks. Have you tried spritzing the whole thing with water, and then scattering coarse sea salt on, and letting it dry? That’s an awesome effect – I think I’m an addict!
