My plan was to make a card in under 10 minutes for CAS-ual Fridays Dashing Thru the Holidays Challenge and boy did I cut it close. 9 min. 42 seconds. Phew! The part that took the longest was getting the ribbon on and tying a bow. Mental note, don't use ribbon when trying to make a card in a hurry.
I quickly inked my image in Distress Inks sprayed with water and stamped onto the paper. It's a great technique if you're in a hurry. Instead of looking for card stock to match the Distress Inks, I swiped Peacock Feathers onto white card stock and stamped the Letter Writing on top, a perfect colour match.
I'm also entering this card at Ellen Hutson LLC Hero Arts Wood Take 'n Make challenge and for Simon Says Anything Goes Challenge.
Wishing everyone a fabulous New Year's Eve!
How beautiful love it!
ReplyDeletePerfectly lovely card. Did you use the DI pads or the markers? Sure did a wonderful card with the technique. Love the bit on the bottom...really sets off the flourish. TFS & Happy New Year. Hugs
ReplyDeleteSo pretty & fresh, Sue! Love the multi-colored stamping on the flourish. Happy new year to you!
ReplyDeleteLove the way you stamped that pretty flourish, Sue! Such a gorgeous color combo too!
ReplyDeleteLove seeing the older HA stamps paired with a wonderful inking technique. Your self made patterned paper is gorgeous, too!
