Blue Bliss

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.

Looking for the OLW this week??  Go here.

Supplies:  stamps:  Penny Black Friendship and Happiness/ Distress inks/ sponge/ pop dots/ water pen/ twine
