I lay drops of liquid acrylic color on a piece of glass, spritz it with water and then lay the photo paper on top.
It always creates wonderful colors in random patterns.
Great abstract art.
Almost always the ink is completed absorbed by the photo paper's front layer as it is meant to be.
This time I found some of the inks acted a little differently, in that some color lay on top of the surface instead of being absorbed. It may be that I had took much liquid and it could not all be completely absorbed.
With Christmas just around the corner I have decided to make a few small gifts this year.
With these wonderful papers I chose to make decorative magnets. Since it is photo paper I decided that I could easily print on it with the inkjet printer. I set out find images and sayings I thought would be compelling. I have used some sayings I gathered from the internet. I love the flip magnets which you turn over to indicate something. Like the Clean/Dirty one for the dishwasher. I have used some of my Stampin Up digital sets as well. Again, I had to keep my images and fonts to thin lines because ones with too much surface area did not absorb and stayed wet which was a bummer. These will make great stocking stuffers.
Since the plan makes 3 cards I chose 3 different colors of card stock from the DSP. With the 2 inches strips cut, I chose an accent color, in this case turquoise. Note: Your accent for card 1 needs to be designed to show well on the diagonal. I printed my accents on the neutral color card stock with the accent color with the Stampin Up Sweet Summer set. Each card gets a half inch strip of the accent color. On card one I cut that in half. On card two and three the DSP can be placed on the left or the right, top or bottom. The accent is adhered to the card front with 3D foam tape.
