Welcome to the weekend!! So happy I had time to make a card for the Inspiration challenge at Splitcoast today and for the challenge at Moxie Fab; to create you own background paper. I was inspired by a card holder seen below. Since I love playing with my Distress inks, this card was an easy one.
I started by creating the small panel first. It did start out to be bigger but I wasn't happy with the results so I cut it down to a smaller size. I sponged on distress inks in blues being sure to overlap them in a circular design. Using a water pen, I added water to blend it all together. When it was dry, I added the sentiment from Penny Black called Friendship and Happiness. Next, I had to think about how to mount my piece. I grabbed the sponges I was using and just dragged them across my card front. I added my main piece using pop dots and of course, some twine was the finishing touch.
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
