Imagine

Hello and Welcome

Here is a card I made last week using a 'bokeh' style of background for these cute little fairies.

I like the look of bokeh, I think it makes for an interesting background.

So I began with a piece of heavy white cardstock and inked it up with some Peacock Feathers, Cracked Pistachio and some Tumbled Glass DOX inks.  I blended all the colours together with a makeup blending brush from the Dollar Store.  I dried it a bit, then using the Circle masks from A Colorful Life Designs, I randomly rubbed on some white Color Box ink over the bkg., creating the circles you see.  I splattered with some water to lift the ink and further add interest.

When the piece was dry, I placed it into my Misti and stamped the fairies and the flowers over the inked background then added the sentiment.

I simply mounted it onto a piece of heavy white cardstock and then onto a white card base.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Good Morning.

Meet today's card.  Playing with a fun stamp from Lavinia.

I wanted to create a night scene and here's what I did.

I began with a piece of heavy white cardstock and positioned my Rectangle Mask over my paper so I would be left with a crisp white border when I was done.

I added a Circle Mask next as I wanted a moon in my scene.  I sponged on some Distress Oxide inks in this order:  Tumbled Glass, Faded Jeans, Wilted Violet, Weathered Wood then Black Soot along the edges.  I removed the circle mask and sponged a bit of Weathered Wood over the white area left, then splattered with some water that lifted the ink to look like the craters on the moon.  

When that was dry, I stamped the fairies and the flowers using my Misti.  I clear heat embossed the fairies to make them pop (not sure why my picture has the white specks as you can't see them IRL)

I removed the rectangle mask and then mounted it onto a piece of pale lavender cardstock then onto a white card base.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
