START THE ART

 Hello!


Playing along with this Freshly Made Sketches challenge (ends 3/9).


and this Word Power March challenge (ends 3/26)

and this The Neglected Stuff Challenge * (ends 3/28)

The colorful panel was made by swirling the same marker inks used to color in the watercolor pans. The ink splatter stamp was stamped in the black ink. * It’s an ancient DOTS stamp * that is so hard I didn’t know what kind of impression it would give, but it came through pretty well. Where the ink stamped a bit thin I just dabbed a bit on straight from the pad using a tiny rubber pointer tool.  The white tag was die cut, and the sentiment stamped in Versafine black ink. It was raised slightly by gluing a scrap of near-chipboard strength card stock onto the reverse. A white gel pen was used for a few highlights, and some enamel gems were placed about.  



SUPPLIES

sentiment, brushes and paint pan stamps - Jane Davenport Crafty Minx set

splats stamp - D.O.T.S. Ink Splatters

label die - ProvoCraft Tag Alongs plate (Cuttlebug)


And a couple more cards made from the same set:
