I thought long and hard about the ink to use and ended up with Archival because it wouldn't run when wet. But for coloring I was stumped. I thought anything I used would follow the grain under the "image" edge. I stamped the main image, stamped a smaller section on a scrap and then the very center. I will say this wood paper does cut nicely! Since there were printed scraps I played with those. I tried COPICS first and that did run. It looked like a blurry mess. Then I tried a very "dry" aqua pen and Distress Inks. As long as the brush tip wasn't too wet, I got a nice amount of color and no seeping.Stamps: Hero Arts ETCHED MEDALLION
Paper: Wood Veneer; Basic Grey BASICS
Ink: Archival Coffee, Distress Ink (Wild Honey, Rusty Hinge, and Peeled Paint)
Accessories: aqua painter, brads
I was admiring this veneer during my latest visit to Archivers! Awesome effect with your medallion image -- it really looks like it was carved. And thanks for the coloring tips!
