Beautiful Blues

Well, it was just a matter of time before I had to get my blue Distress inks out and play with them again and here is what I came up with.  

This month at One-Layer Simplicity Challenge our theme is 

YOU BLEND

I blended with my blending tool, water and my markers.

I began by masking the edges of my card so I could stencil the background of my card using Salty Ocean Distress ink. It sort of reminds me of a trellis in the garden. I also splattered some water over to add some depth to the background.

 Next, I took my stamp from Rubbernecker and coloured on it with my Memento markers, sprayed with water and stamped.  By spraying with water it blends the colours together and gives a wonderful watercoloured look.  I stamped the sentiment from Mama Elephant using black Memento ink.

As I removed the border masks, I got a blue mark on the white cardstock that I couldn't rub out.  My solution to my mistake was to sponge the edges with Salty Ocean and Peacock Feathers Distress inks and again, I splattered with water.  I like the look of the border and how it turned out so my mistake was turned into a positive.  

Also adding my card to these challenges:

Simon Says- ANYTHING GOES
