{Spotlight Project} Shirley Uses Mop Up Panels for Color

 


Hello peeps! I tend to have a lot of mop up panels in my stash. I use Distress Inks as watercolour paints on an acrylic block, and when I've finished I spritz and mop up the colours onto a piece of card, so I'm left with lots of multi-coloured inky panels. I decided to put some to good use, and save me some colouring time!


I found a panel with some yellows and greens in it, because I was doing a floral card. I positioned my stamps to take advantage of the different shades and colours.


I did a little doctoring to the stamped images by trimming off the right-hand leaf and adding it on the left. Then I cut around the rim of the vase so that the stalks appeared to standing in the vase rather than behind it. I added a couple of strips of card waste across the centre, and stamped the sentiment from 


I did the same thing with another panel that had slightly more green in it.


It's a nice way of getting colour onto cards - and of using up that mop up stash!

  6. Oh wow, that is such a good idea. I hate to just wipe away any ink, so I am going to use your suggestion. The look is just wonderful. I am going to also die cut my extra ink mop ups. THANK YOU.

  7. Haven't thought of using another panel to pickup leftover color. This is a neat way to have some premade papers for the next project.
