Get inky!

The challenge at Cardz for Guyz is to get messy and make your own background. Now I have to confess that I never seem to get such good results as other people when I play with inks.

For this card, I sprayed a piece of card with TH Distress Resist Spray. When it was dry I blended Oxide inks over it then misted it with some water. The dies were from a recent magazine. The fish bowl and sentiment were cut from some teal card, but the fshes and seaweed were from a scrap of white card and coloured with copics.

I hope you'll be able to join in with us getting messy!

3D Background

We have a new challenge at Cardz for Galz. We would like you to make your own background. So should I do random stamping, use a stencil, brushos etc etc.? In the end I went with none of those, I used a 3D embossing folder, which came in one of the monthly kits I get.I had to dig out my Big Shot to use it as I couldn't get it to go through the Grand Caliber, which is my machine of choice.

I sponged Antique Linen over it and the Cosmic Copper to pick out the pattern.  The dragonfly and sentiment are cut out of copper mirri card.
