Crafting Up the Coast

I know you probably thought I used Blendabilities to color this image but I did not.  I used an aqua painter and our dye based inks, Island Indigo, Early Espresso, Wild Wasabi and soft suede with Whisper White card stock.  In addition, I used a brayer and rolled the background paper, Irresistibly Yours, page 15 of the SABC, with Island Indigo.  It is a white background paper with embossed diagonal white lines.  When you brayer over it, the ink stays on the white paper but the embossed lines can be wiped off with a soft cloth because the ink will resists the areas embossed.  I used soft Sky ink to lay a color around my image and after painting the image I used a white gel pen to highlight.
