Easy to do, but messy and fun. Pick some lovely dried grasses, seed heads, interesting branches etc. You want something that looks interesting, but your collecting freebies - so this is the perfect time to really experiment and play.
Hold you seed head to your card, try to get it as flat as possible to your card, and spritz. I used a couple of colours - try lots of different spritzers, from shimmery ones to the plain dyes.
Allow them to dry naturally, then you have a lovely image to make into your card. I made it very plain and simple as I didn't want to take the emphasis from my image.
Spritz away.
Sorry, my photo wasn't very clear - the shimmer was very shimmery and my light to bright.

This is such a fabulous idea, I will certainly be looking out for some interesting bits in the garden. Any chance you can say which spritz spray you used or am I able to make my own with Tim Holtz inks.?
ReplyDeletewhat a good idea, leonie. it might even encourage me to get out and do some much overdue gardening (groan) to collect some seed heads.
ReplyDeleteLovely card Leonie and what a great technique. I now know what I'll be doing at the weekend. xxx Hazel.
