Pastel Monoprint

Having used the bright monoprint on my first card (here), I'm now using the paler reverse monoprint.

Such a soft, pastel finish. 

Have to have some shimmer with Tonic Nuvo Glitter Gloss! 

I actually coloured my white silk ribbon with a light touch of the Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink so that it would match. It's my solution to having so many different colour ribbon. Now I just match it to the ink colour I was using.

Snowy Monoprint

I loved the monoprints that Jennifer McGuire showed on her blog this week. We are so lucky to have her give us these lessons on different techniques.

So here's my take using Distress Oxides.

Yes, this techniques gives you 2 backgrounds!  I used the darker background first.

I added white enamel accents for the snowfall.
