RAINY DAY

Hello!

TECHNIQUES

Distress Ink watercolor , die cutting (main panel), heat embossing (sentiment)

I smooshed blue ink from the pad onto acetate sheet (a second layer of light green on the second card) spritzed with water, laid another acetate sheet over to blend and then removed, laid image panel onto inked acetate sheet (you can use both sides of sheets on scrap cs to maximize ink usage).  I stamped the image first in black Versafine ink to better control placement of color.

Circles and Silhouettes Challenges

I have always loved this image of these birds hanging out together.  When I saw it last night at Joann's and I had a good coupon I could not resist. Very happy with it!

Stamps:  Hampton Art phrase (#PS1103), Inkadinkado birds (97855 DD)

Inks: Distress Ink - Weathered Wood, Scattered Straw, Versafine Onyx Black

Copic Marker: Black

Other: Waverly white chalk acrylic, Sakura Gelly Roll white pen

1. Smooshed blue and yellow Distress Inks on an oven liner mat and misted with water.  Rested white cardstock on inks, pressing down, then allowed to air-dry.

2. Stamped birds and phrase in black ink, and also on a large post-it to use as a mask (I used Versafine but it was not fine - it smeared LOL). I used a Copic black marker to color the birds in thouroughly.

3. Used white chalk paint and a foam brush through a section of the metal ribbon shown.

4. Smooshed the yellow ink into white cardstock and punched a circle.

5. Sponged blue ink around top edges.

6. Added the ribbon (easiest to apply it flat and tie a separate knot on).
