Dear Ones~
Here is another little card I did for the Mod Squad Challenge this week, which was to make our own background paper.
This time I used various Tim Holtz Distress Inks, tapped them on my craft sheet, spritzed them with water and then used watercolor paper to transfer the color. It's really fun to do this technique because you never know what kind of pattern you will be gifted with.
Here are the supplies I used:
Gina K Designs Sweet Mango Card Stock
Various Tim Holtz Distress Inks
Inkadinkado Stamp for Greeting
Flower Die by Papertrey Ink
Martha Stewart Scallop Punch
Spellbinders Labels 4 Die
Gina K Designs Fresh Asparagus Ink
That's it for me today. Thanks for stopping by - and think spring my friends!
This background is pretty cool too! VERY pretty colors. You do this technique well. My all tend to come out murky and BROWN! lol Nice job, lady! Good Luck.....it's a BIG prize!!!
ReplyDeleteI like that! You never know what you will be gifted with! This card is so colorful, I think the artist has a little say in how it emerges. Don't you think?
ReplyDeleteJudy, I love that card and the gorgeous paper you created. The colors are amazing. Perfect sentiment for this too. Beautifully done! I am gonna have to give that technique a try. Love that look.

ReplyDeleteOh, what a perfect 'gift' you were given...or should I say created?? Both of these cards are amazingly beautiful
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome background you created here, my friend! I had to laugh reading Donna's post up there... because I can't tell you how many times my attempts have yielded murky and brown color too! Bwahahaha! You did very well! ;)

I tried this technique after seeing your card Judy. It was a lot of fun!! Thank you for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had fun with it Penny. It's something that takes some practice, and many trials and errors, but it does look awesome when you get it right.
DeleteVery fun technique! Love the look you achieved. I am a new follower. :)

ReplyDeleteHi Judy, Just found your link over at Darnell's, and popped over to say Hello & become your newest follower. Love the way you've created this beautiful background, which made such a pretty card. The borders combined with the background to make one stunning card.

ReplyDeleteI have been having a heck of a time leaving a comment, Judy. I keep getting the blogger Whoops error, so I'm back today to try again. I wanted to thank you for joining my blog! I have returned the flavor and introduced you on my blog last week.
ReplyDeleteI really love this card and I, too, love playing with the technique you used for your beautiful background. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but it's always a magical experience!!
Hope all is well and that you will be back posting your card art soon. Please let me know when you do! Hugs, Darnell
