My 2nd post of the day. To see my Southern Girls Challenge card
see this post.
I've really fallen in love with the beautiful sentiments and other stamps at Winnie & Walter and got my second lot last week. They finally arrived in NZ after doing a bit of a detour to The Netherlands... And this week over at the
Winnie & Walter blog this week, they are sharing the love with Distress inks.
You can win some distress inks and a sponge applicator simply by commenting on the post or adding a card based on the day's technique. Day 1 was watercolouring.... always a fun technique.
I used Distress ink , DI markers and The Big, the Bold and Extras to make my card. I stamped the background rose with Squeezed Lemonade and
then used my waterbrush to move the colour around. I coloured the outline rose with Dried
Marigold marker and stamped. Once again, used the water brush. Did the same with the leaves - Mowed Lawn and
Crushed Olive, spreading the inks
I then scribbled some Salty Ocean distress marker onto my block and spritzed with some silvery Shimmer mist. Mixing the two I did a colour wash over the rest of the paper. You can't see the amazing shimmer on the card in the photo, but believe me, it is stunning. I then used Broken China just around the flowers. Once the panel dried, I stamped the banner and coloured with the Broken China ink. I stamped the sentiment words, shaping them to fit the banner. Finished with some sequins.
I am also adding this to the Colour it challenge at
A blog named Hero ( even though I haven't used a HA stamp you can still enter)
Day 2 is Ombre technique and Day 3 is Resist technique. Hoping to get some more done over the weekend.
Tomorrow I'm off to SENZ - NZ biggest scarpbooking and papercrafting expo and this year, cake decorating. My friend, Suna, and I have taken the day off work to go. Looking forward to seeing all sorts of new items. Should be a fun day.
Thanks to all my visitors. Hope you enjoy visiting.
