This DIP technique is a technique made popular by Tim Holtz. It can be used to create beautiful background and to colour paper flowers and other paper embellishments.
Technique:
The following video shows this technique beautifully:
- Just dab various colours of ink on a Teflon craft sheet (ink that can be used as watercolour-type paint works best).
- I used Distress Oxide inks (my favourite, don’t tell anyone).
- Use a mini mister and spray/spritz lightly with some water.
- Take a piece of cardstock and dip, dip, dip on the various colours.
- If you missed a spot just dip again!
- When YOU are HAPPY with the result let it dry.
The result is a beautiful mix of colours!
