Watercolour masking

Hiya! Quick post from me as I have a poorly little lady with me :-( Here's a card I started a few weeks ago and have only just got around to finishing. It's using this tutorial from Kristina Werner using masking fluid to draw a circle, then splotch in Distress Inks and water so they blend together. Then, once everything was dry and I had rubbed away the masking fluid, I used the same colours of ink and flicked little splatters over the top along with water and some white misting ink. Once that was dry I stamped and embossed what I think is my fave sentiment stamp ever, over the top, and matted everything to a purple card base.

I'm going to enter this into these challenges; Addicted to CAS Distress, AAA Challenges Watercolour Rain, Viginia's View Embossing and Sieze the Birthday Anything goes option. I hope you like it, thanks for looking!

Supplies;

Ink - Distress Inks 'Seedless Preserves', 'Chipped Sapphire' & 'Peacock Feathers'

Sentiment - Mama Elephant 'Make a Wish'

Other - white embossing powder, watercolour masking fluid & Studio Calico white spray mist

Cardstock - Stampin' Up 'Blackberry Bliss'

 

SSS February 2015 Card Kit #2

Evening all! I'm back with another card from the card kit - and I've managed to squeeze in a couple more today too so I'll be back with more - having a kit definitely seems to be a mojo booster for me :-)

This one is a bit of a masculine style valentines card, and it's a shaker too! I've used cardstock, papers & sentiment stamp from the kit and added in some Freckled Fawn wood veneer hearts and twinkly twine. 

I've used this weeks Freshly Made Sketch, Virginias View 'Shaker Card' challenge, Just Us Girls 'Love' theme and also the current Card Concept photo, I've used the love theme plus woodgrain. 

Thanks for looking!

Supplies;

Papers, cardstock & sentiment stamp - Simon Says Stamp February card kit

Wood veneer shapes - Freckled Fawn

Ink - Stampin' Up 'Early Espresso'

Die - X-Cut 'Nested Hearts'

Other - acetate & twine

Cheers!

Evening all! I hope you've had a good week! I re-claimed my craft room last night after it became a storage room while we decorated our bedroom! It's all lovely and finished now so I have my little space back and I made this card. It's for my Brother-in-laws birthday next month. There's a few steps to how I made the beer glass so I'll explain - if you're interested! ;-) I started with some Crushed Curry card stock and matching ink which I smooshed onto my craft sheet. I then mixed in some white embossing paste to make it a paler version of the card stock colour. I used the Falling Snow stencil and the now yellow embossing paste to make beer bubbles in the glass. When that was dry, I cut it to size, inked the edges with more Crushed Curry ink and then gave it a few spritzes of Colour Shine Gold spray. The Cheers was cut out 5 times, glued together in a stack and covered with Wink of Stellar in gold. I'm going to enter this into this weeks CASology challenge of Wet and also this months Virginia's View challenge of Stencils. I hope you like it, thanks for looking!
