Feeling Blue

 

Hello and Welcome

Meet today's card.

I called it Feeling Blue because of the colour and not because of the way I feel although we are in another lockdown as the third wave here in Ontario is proving to be the worst so far!

I always try and stay positive and look ahead to happier days.

So onto my card details...here's what I did.

• I began with a piece from my stash. I had inked and stenciled it I think.  Since I'm always using my Distress Oxide inks, I'm guessing I used some of my favourite colours....Peacock Feathers, Salty Ocean and some Blueprint Sketch.  I placed it into the Letters Embossing folder from Carabelle and ran it through my Cuttlebug.  I sanded off the letters to give it a more unique look.
• I set that aside and got out my Misti.  Using this new to me stamp called Fragile Foliage, I inked it up with some more of the colours of Distress inks mentioned above, then I die-cut it out.
• I die-cut the 'Thinking of You' sentiment 3 times on some heavy white cardstock and glued them together for stability.
• I glued the sanded background onto a heavy white card base, then glued on the flowers and the sentiment.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Hello

Time for a reminder card for the 

CAS Watercolour Challenge

Our theme this month is Something Blue.

So here's what I did to create my card.

I began with a piece of heavy white cardstock and my acrylic mask, positioning it over my card front.  I used my elastic wrapped acrylic block again, inked it up with DOX inks (Mermaid Lagoon, Peacock Feathers, Tumbled Glass) and sprayed with water to stamp with.  To add more interest, I did some acetate inking; rub inks onto a sheet of acetate, spray with water and apply to paper. 

When that was dry, I rubbed the edges with some more DOX ink, then splattered on some water to resemble the falling rain.

Next, I removed the mask and placed the piece inside my Misti to stamp the Rain Dance girl.  

I stamped the sentiment, then scored a frame all around the inked area, I like how it frames up the inky area.  

I glued that onto some blue cardstock then onto a plain white card base.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

I hope you will check out the beautiful blue gallery.
