Happy Saturday!
Finally had time to make a card this week. Sometimes life just get so busy and I miss out on my crafting time!
Today, I am being inspired by the Challenge at Splitcoast from the Shabby Creek CottageBlog. Fun ideas and here is the photo that inspired my card:
I began by creating the background using Brusho. Many of you know about Brusho and the wonderful colours you can achieve from just spraying with water.
(Many examples of using Brusho on my previous blog posts)
When the bkg. was dry, I used my Misti and Memento ink to stamp the sentiment which is one of my newest purchases from STAMPlorations. LOVE, love the Misti for repeated, dark stamping over a painted surface. The flowers from Hero Arts, were stamped with the Misti again then watercoloured using more Brusho, water and a paint brush.
To add extra interest and depth to the painted surface I stamped the script from Penny Black along the side. I just filled in some of the empty areas perfectly.
Adding my card to these challenges:
CASology- GRADUATION
Virginia's View- OMBRE/MONOCHROMATIC
Use Your Stuff- SENTIMENT

Have a great weekend.
Supplies: stamps- Hero Arts, Penny Black, Stamplorations/ Brusho/ Memento ink/ MISTI/ paint brush/ Mini Mister

I saw this card on Pinterest this morning. It did not link back to this post so I spent my morning going through your blog looking for it. Oh,my. I saw so many wonderful cards. You always say what you used and how you made your cards. Thank you so much for that. I have pinned a bunch of them to my Pinterest Board this morning. When I finally came across this post, I made myself stop looking; but I'll be back. Wonderful, wonderful work.
