Hi! back again to tell you that it's time for another challenge over
at Crafty Cardmakers.
Chanya is hosting today and our challenge is 'Get Inky and Messy' .
As usual you can enter anything you fancy, it doesn't have to just be cards, as long as it meets the challenge.
Hope you will join in.
I used the following piece to dry the inks and as you can see you are left with another interesting piece which can be used for another project.
Next I used these dies to cut the coloured paper.
Hope you will join in.
And here is my project for the challenge:
I started with a sheet of mixed media paper.
Distress Oxide inks, just rub these straight onto the paper.
Spray lightly with water and allow it to drip down so that it blends.
If you don't want the blended effect but want to keep the colours clean then apply one ink at a time, spray, drip and dry each one before adding the next.
I used the following piece to dry the inks and as you can see you are left with another interesting piece which can be used for another project.
Next I used these dies to cut the coloured paper.
To complete the card I began by stamping on the card blank with a text stamp and then started to add the die cut pieces.
Some of the pieces on the card are those left-over sections after cutting the main pieces. I'm sure you will see that these shapes may be waste but they fit really well with the actual die cuts.
A little more stamping.
I especially like the faux stitching.
I took the main die cut piece and using a blending tool covered the edge with black ink. This technique will give more depth to the main image as it produces a shadow around the edge then stamped on the sentiment.
Then attached it to the card with 3D foam stickers after adding some coloured yarn for extra texture, and interest.
I finished this off with coloured sequins.
I hope you will pop over to see what the rest of the DT have been up to and maybe join in the challenge.
I look forward to seeing what you come up with too.
Happy crafty card making.
