I like inky and I like random. I'm not so good at patience so I thought this technique would be good for my soul since you have to walk away and leave it overnight! For this card, I stamped the branch in Versamark and embossed with clear detail embossing powder then gave it a liberal spraying with my walnut ink so that it pooled and puddled a bit on the surface of the cardstock then I left it in its spray box and went to bed! This morning, my branch looked like this and just needed trimming, matting and I added a random wrap of waxed linen thread for some textural interest.I love this effect, it's almost like leather and would make great masculine cards with the right stamp. Good job I like it really, it looks like the tiny jar of walnut ink crystals is going to go a looooong way as it is!
Supplies: Silhouette Blooms I (Cornish Heritage Farms), Versamark, clear detail embossing powder, walnut ink crystals, spray bottle, waxed linen thread
Thanks for stopping by, hope you're having a great day!

LOve what you di with the walnut ink - I will need to give it a try. I have seen the ink at a craftstore in a spray bottle or do you reccomend the crystal/
Great classy card Joanne. I'm going to try this with my spray ink hope I get as good a result as you have with the crystals.

Gorgeous card Joanne.....x
lovely card joanne :)
i have some walnut ink but not tried it yet!! must give it a go:)
It's a fantastic effect Joanne! I agree, it's quite like leather and masculine. There are some sprays called Moon Shadow Mist by Lindy's Stamp Gang. I have a couple of colours here and it's walnut ink based. Not sure if it's the same thing?? I got mine ages ago from the Stamp Attic.
You've reminded me that I haven't played with them for a long time!
