Ink and Spritz

One of my favourite techniques is to ink then spritz with water to give that watercolour effect.

CASology Challenge has a new challenge - and the cue word is FAITH.

Watercolour is not usually connected with CAS cards, but I find that if you contain the image to a smaller area, then you still have lots of white space.

Come and be inspired by a visit to check on the creations of the design team. Looking forward to seeing your take on the cue word.

Feather

CASology has their new challenge for this fortnight, and the cue word is FEATHER.

I found this wonderful stamp by Club Scrap in my stash.  I don't think I've ever used it before.

I inked it up with Distress Markers and gave a very light spritz.  

I just love the sentiments from the Uniko "Wonderful Day" set. A lovely mix of fonts. I layered the sentiment to preserve white space.

Added a couple of drops of Liquid Pearls in matching colours.

  
Here you can see the sparkle.

Float on over and check on the creations of the design team and be inspired. Looking forward to seeing your take on the cue word.

Metallic Wishes

Sometimes when things don't go as planned and you need to "fix" it, then you come up with something more than you expected.  I had done some ink and spritz stamping that I hadn't sprayed enough water. So it had a blotchy finish where you could see the ink lines.  In order to hide them, I broke open my brand new gliding flakes.

Love the finish!

Trying to capture the wonderful shine on the gilding flakes ...

Celebrate - Brights and Pastels

I started making a card, and I got a bonus one on the way.

Added some Nuvo glitter gloss to the wings. Hard to capture on camera.

When I had stamped my first card with the solid leaves, there was still lots of ink on the stamp. So I gave it another little spritz and stamped on a new card.  So much softer.

Are you a BRIGHTS person or a PASTELS person?

May CCC Reveal

It's time for the Card Chain Challenge May Reveal!

My card went off to Jerrie in Wisconsin.  I do so love sharing cards with those who share my passion.

I didn't think I would really like the colour combination, but in the end I LOVED it!

I started out stamping 2 sets of flowers from the Botanical flower set using the ink and spritz technique to get the watercolour effect.  (I used the rest of the flower on THIS and THIS card.) 

I dropped ink on a small panel and let it run down. Once dry, I embossed it with the lines embossing folder.

I think this card is my favourite of the three.

You still have time to join in for The June CCC Challenge! Who knows, maybe I'll get a card from you!
