Dancing in the Rain

 

Welcome.

Got a fun filled card for you today featuring the new for June stencil called What a Splash from 

A Colorful Life Designs.

I paired it up with a previous release called to Ink Blot create this fun card.

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

• I placed a piece of white cardstock onto my Make Art Station and positioned the What a Splash stencil over that.  I inked it up with some Salty Ocean and a hint of Uncharted Mariner Distress Oxide ink.
• I removed the stencil and replaced it with the Ink Blot stencil and inked that up with some Peacock Feathers DOX ink.  Those colours worked so well together.
• I splattered with my white Posca pen to help add more of the look of rain falling.
• When it was dry, I placed it into my Misti and stamped the silhouette and sentiment.
• I glued the finished panel onto a piece of blue cardstock and then onto an A2 sized card base.
• Lastly, I added 3 black gems around the sentiment.

Here are the stencils I used:

End of Summer

Good Morning.

Meet today's card.  Very simple one using this great technique with video by my sweet friend Loll Thompson that I am now addicted to!!

Splash Watercolour

This technique is super simple and makes a background simple and quickly.

For my card, I rubbed Broken China Distress Oxide ink onto my non-stick craft sheet, sprayed with water and 'slapped' my paper into the wet ink getting the splashed look on my card front.

I repeated that process using some Faded Jeans Distress Oxides to add more depth and colour.

I dried between the layers to create the water drops that looks like an ocean spray.

When that was all dry and I was happy with the colour layering, I stamped the sentiment using my Misti with black Memento ink then clear heat embossed.

I die-cut the birds and glued them onto my card front.

I hate to see summer end but right now we are having summer weather that I will totally enjoy.

Have a great rest of your wknd.
