That cool swirly, colorful image is made with a length of twine, ink refills and a phone book. Yes; a phone book! Any book will do but I a phone book is okay to get inky.
And another neat thing about this technique is you get two finished panels from one technique!
You might notice the card on the right has thicker lines. I believe that piece was on the bottom and had more moisture on it.
I used Bermuda Bay and Parakeet Party ink refills for this technique, along with about 14" of baker's twine. After the piece was created I let it dry and textured it with an embossing folder.
*Bermuda Bay card stock, ink pad and refill are already sold out. Products can go so fast on the Last Chance list!

You really need to watch this technique in action. It's so much easier than to try to explain it.
Watch the video hereor click on the image below to see this special technique. It's the third project in the video.
My colors here are White with Hydrangea Hue and Granny Apple Green. I colored the Lily of the Valley die-cuts with both Blends markers and tried the new Shimmer Brushes too. The gorgeous textured layers are made with the Floral Spray 3D embossing folder; it’s back in stock now!See it here.
Look closely at the layers in my photo above and note how the upper left piece tucks under the right lower piece. That’s why it’s called a crossover fold; it actually locks together to lay mostly flat. You can see how it’s made in the video below.
