Afternoon all, here I am again (you can tell I've had withdrawal symptoms can't you) with my second post of the day. My earlier post of Animal Antics is here.
So I am back with my LESS IS MORE card for this week and their colour challenge of AQUA. Now, a friend and I always debate this one - I tend to see more blue, and she sees more green.
I really struggled to get a crisp photo of this one - I think the poor light and a lot of white on the card totally confused my phone camera. This has been the best I've managed.
Using a Hero Arts flower stamp and VersaMark, I created a watermark image, and then with the sponge squidgee thing I inked over with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. I think I was too heavy handed as the resist isn't as clean as it could be - next time I think I'll try it with clear or white embossing powder. On the card base, I sponge inked a faint band in the same colour and over stamped with a tiny stamp. Layering the panel over that, I then added the butterfly (a magazine freebie) and the sentiment.
Hugs, Sxx
I like your faux ribbon strip Squirrel... this looks great, I haven't actually tried the resist technique without embossing... I must give it a go!
ReplyDeleteSuper job!

Very pretty. Marie x
ReplyDeleteFab resisting Squirrel, love the image. Try just dabbing over the image with a very slightly damp, very slightly if you know what I mean, paper towel ... it should just lift off the DI.
ReplyDeleteLove your card.
Hugs

ReplyDeleteI love the effect of just inking over the versamark Squirrel - it's given a lovely soft image a bit like chalking. Vicky x

Lovely card Squirrel, that panel looks FAB
ReplyDeleteI tend to see aqua as more green, I think having green eyes does that? who knows!
Thank you very much
