Hot Glue Fun on a Mix'd Media Inx Canvas

After returning from CHA I was very intrigued with what folks were doing with Hot Glue. Using it not just as a glue but as a visible element. What better medium to try some hot glue fun on than a mixed media canvas using Donna Salazars Mixed Media Inx and Chox? I also have a quick little video at the end to show you how I made the rose petals.
One thing to remember is that glue will dry with a little haze to it. If you want a more vibrant color use a more vibrant base ink

I further embellished my hot glue leaves with some Mix'd Media Inx in Black, just using my finger.

I used a Crafters Workshop Stencil and Hampton Art Graphic 45 Secret Garden stamps.
I started with Mix'd Media Inx in Sage then blended up using: Verdigris, Wisteria, and Vintage. You can blend Chox and Inx together, but Inx will stay wet longer and you can take more time to blend
