Create a rustic, aged watering can decoration using watercolour cardstock, layered distress inks in blues and greys, and embossing powder for added texture. The finished piece has an authentic old, battered metal effect that's perfect for garden-themed cards and projects.

Schritt für Schritt

1. 

   Cut a piece of white watercolour cardstock in half to create your base for inking.

2. Apply Stormy Sky blue ink to your craft mat. Lightly spray the inked area with water to create a distressed effect. ▶ watch 1:30:00
3. Dip the watercolour cardstock into the inked mat, covering it all over to create a distressed background. Press the cardstock onto the ink pad multiple times to ensure even coverage. ▶ watch 1:30:30
4. 

   Use a heat gun to completely dry the inked cardstock. Hold the heat gun over the surface, moving it around until all the ink is dry to the touch.

5. 

   Apply a second layer of Stormy Sky ink by picking up excess ink from the craft mat with your finger and dabbing it onto the cardstock to build up the colour intensity.

    Use a dusting brush or old paintbrush to gently brush off any excess embossing powder from areas where you don't want it, particularly around the watering can image.

14. 

    Heat set the embossing powder using a heat gun, holding the watering can steady with tweezers. Move the heat gun evenly over the embossed areas until the powder melts and sets.

Tipps aus der Show

• Always dry between layers of ink to prevent colours blending into one muddy mess and to achieve better texture and depth.
• Ensure your cardstock is completely dry before die-cutting, as moisture in the card will prevent the die from cutting cleanly.
• Get your heat gun as hot as possible before heat-setting embossing powder; less time on the cardstock means fewer lumps and bumps, as paper fibres can distort with excessive heat.
