Messy-Artsy Technique

Hello,

It's spring I'm sharing a card made several months ago using a messy-but-artsy technique I learnt by watching a tutorial by @jennifermcguireink. The image stamped with distress ink reacts with water spritzed on it to create the messy look. Creating something messy is out of my comfort zone, but I like trying new techniques.

Sending Prayers

Hello friends,

I'm sharing this card, on which I used the soap bubble technique for the background panel. It was my first attempt at this fun technique, but capturing the effect on camera was the most difficult part. I hope the recipient, a cancer victim will like this card.

Products used:

#heroarts (stamp & die) #gansaitambi pearl colors & bling

I will be back after Easter. Until then happy crafting.

A Designer CASE

Hello,

I'm here today to share a card I made for a Time Out Challenge to CASE the designer Donna Mikasa. I was truly inspired by the design of her card where one section was stencilled and embossed while the other was only embossed. I chose to stamp the flowers, then embossed and covered the joining line of the panels with a sentiment strip.

Products used:

#altenew embossing folder #winniewalter (floral stamps) #stampendous (sentiment) #catherinepooler inks & bling

Challenges entered:

#timeout - #283 CASE

Have a great day.
