It does feel good to blog regularly and I hope to continue so as I have several cards to share. Around Oct'15, I had to make a card for my son. I used the MFT sketch & color challenge inspiration to make the card, did not get to posting it on my blog, but did send him this card.
Supplies used:
watercolour paperRanger distress inks (salty ocean & mowed lawn)
Tsukineko Brilliance ink (pearl.crimson)
stamp from my RAK for design on the balloon (company unknown)
Heidi swapp-script words (sentiment)
Fashion cord
bling
Zig 2way glue pen
foam tape
I coloured a piece of watercolour paper with distress inks using the smooshing technique. Next, drew and cut balloon shapes, stamped the design at random, adhered to card with foam tape for dimension. Added the sentiment, cord, bling and lightly applied some blue distress ink around the edges. The fashion cord from India, is a multicoloured metallic thread that passes through a thin plastic tubing. This enabled me to turn the cord as I desired but had to use some Zig glue to hold it down in places.
I'm entering this card into challenges at...
