First up is my card for ColourQ and the current Make It Monday challenge. I used one of the large words from the PTI Wet Paint set and two circular designs from the PTI Bits & Buttons set. Following Heather's instructions I stamped the word in VersaMark, applied the clear embossing powder and heat set it. Then I stamped away using the brown, turquoise and aqua colors. Once I finished stamping those colors I stamped a few circles using Delicata Golden Glitz ink and then carefully wiped the ink of the sentiment. I added a few sequins in turquoise, aqua and clear before mounting the card on the turquoise card base.
The second card was made using the Julie Ebersole watercolor technique from the Online Card Class and the colors from the current Color Throwdown challenge, lime and bright pink. For my card I used Ranger Distress inks in Picked Raspberry and Peeled Paint. Both colors were applied to my craft mat and spritzed with water. The dots were stamped using a clean pencil eraser. Because I was only stamping with two colors I didn't put down as many dots as I might have. After the dots were stamped I die cut the piece with a TE butterfly and then added the silver sequins. Mounted everything on a white cardstock base. I'm also popping this one into the current Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge: die crazy since I used a die to cut my butterfly.Thanks for stopping by...
