I have been experimenting with powdered inks and then discovered the Ken Oliver colour burst powders which are a lot cleaner to use as you just shake the powder out the bottle. 

I created the background by spritzing it with water and sprinkling Brusho powder on to it. I then spritzed it with more water to diffuse the colour. Once the Ultramarine had dried i then added a layer of Purple . I used the Grunge ATC stamps by Lost Coast Designs to and a layer of stamping to the background. 

I used one of the MDF Geoclusters frames and coated it in gesso before painting with crackle paste.

I then dyed it with the leftover ink. I used the 1/2 inch alphabet to create the title which i painted with Ken Oliver Liquid Metals Copper ink

The stamp set is the Travel Stuff set by Lost Coast Designs which i stamped on to smooth card and inked using Ken Oliver Sepia Colour Burst Powder. I used the Copper Liquid Metals to paint the Penny Farthing

The photo is of my Nan and her friend at the seaside.

I used the powdered inks to colour white paper flowers so that they always match my project.
