Beautiful Moments- The Flower Challenge

Morning.

I have to say that I am having a blast playing with the new Distress Oxide inks.  They layer so nicely and I honestly just love to play around and see what I can come up with.

It's also time for another challenge at 

The Flower Challenge.

Easy right?

So onto the card I created for the challenge.

Some of you may have seen this technique I came up with called Swipe Your Credit card. 

That was my starting point for this card.

So I rubbed my Oxide ink pad directly onto my non-stick craft sheet, sprayed with a bit of water and dipped in my credit card edge, then I pulled the ink down my card front.  I started with the yellow first, moved onto the green on the outside edge then the red in the center.

* I use a heavy weight cardstock that I get from a local store.  I find the ink will sit on the surface 

instead of soaking into the paper and is easier to pull over the surface * 

Next, I rubbed the surface with a non-stick pad, stamped the wildflowers with Versamark ink then white heat embossed.  I stamped the sentiment with black Memento and clear heat embossed to help it pop against the colourful bkg.

I randomly stamped the graffiti to add more interest to my background.

To finish off my card, I used the edge of my credit card dipped in white paint to make the little detail lines. I repeated that process with the black ink as well.

Please come and play along with us.
Thanks so very much for coming by and taking a look.
