Simply make
1 White heat-emboss the
dandelion image on a panel
of white cardstock. Blend
over the embossed image
with Distress Oxide Ink in
green. The embossing will
resist the colour.
2 Sprinkle and blot water
lightly over the inked area to
lift some of the colour and
create a mottled look.
3 Blend the blues in to the
opposite corner of the card
base, fading towards the
centre to leave some
white space.
