Morning readers,
Here we are at Wednesday once again, bit of a change this morning (on the weather front) ... it's raining!!! Still hot though! During this hot weather I've struggled to find my creative mojo but ... I was looking for something else entirely when the car image below caught my eye, so ... thought I'd better use it quick - before the lethargy kicked in again!, and here's what I made ....
 |
| My card |
 |
| And a closer view of the image and stencilling |
The front, back and inside of my card along with the front and back of the envelope
Materials used:
- White C6/A2, 250gsm card and matching sized envelope
- Two pieces of white card cut to fit
- One piece of black card, cut to mat with a narrow boarder
- Tim Holtz car image (from THJ004) stamped using Versafine Clair nocturne ink, including once on to a full coverage post-it which I then cut out to use as a mask
- With the mask in place I placed my Tim Holtz stencil (bubbles THS002) and applied Memento rhubarb stalk ink, using a makeup brush
- I then swapped the stencil for a Dutchdoobadoo letters stencil (470.715.603) before applying Memento sweet plum ink, before finally removing the mask
- Sentiment (from a Chinese set of stamps which I discovered to be a cheap imitation of an Altenew set ... now on my Christmas list!) stamped using Versafine Clair nocturne ink
I'll be entering the above make for the following challenges:-
