Focus by Donna Gray

Hi everyone,

Donna here today with a card using the new PaperArtsy Infusions which are brilliant.

What to do:

Use a piece of Smoothy Card for this as you will be using a lot of water.

Sprinkle a little of the Infusions onto the paper (a little really does go a long way) then spritz with water until the colour starts to appear. Now this is entirely random and you never know quite what you’ll get…go with the flow!

Dry with a heat gun then stamp the tree, house and birds using black Archival ink. For the ‘sun’ use a Versamagic inkpad in Pumpkin Spice colour.

Add a Tim Holtz sentiment and then mount onto black card then white cardstock.

When you get the Infusions, pierce a little hole through the top of the bottle and always remember to shake the bottle before use to distribute the powder as the ‘browner’ grains are heavier and sink to the bottom. These powders are perfect for the more grungy look I’d say, a cross between Brushos and Bistres.
