AquaTints.....

Morning Crafters,

Today is another one of my posts that didn't publish.  It was a card I made while just having a "play day" you know, one of those days where you have nothing in mind and no occasion  to craft for, just pure time losing fun...

I was having a play with some of the Spectrum Noir AquaTints in Beautifully grunge.

I first painted the AquaTints on basic white cardstock, spritzed with a little water and while still wet, sprinkled on some coarse sea salt.  (I left it to dry naturally).

I painted half a dozen of these in different colours and directions, (some just splodged on randomly) all at the same time so I will always have a background to hand. It's amazing how no two backgrounds look alike.

I then just stamped with some Sheena Douglass stamps (I think I have nearly every one !!!)
She is such a talented lady and her stamps are amazing.

Lastly a little bit of  Indigo-Blu Mega flakes (can't remember which colour, sorry) as I felt it needed a little something but glitter didn't seem to fit.

Have a great day
Hugs Karen

Fathers Day

Hi folks,

There seems to have been a few issues lately with trying to upload some of my posts so here is a card I made which was originally posted on 27th Feb.

Its a lovely little image from LOTV which I used to make my dad his Fathers Day card.

 

 

 

 The newspaper background is Bazzill Basics paper (Antique dictionary page) which you can find here  and the papers are both from MME 6x6 paper pads, Indie chic-saffron and Lost & Found-Portobello Road

Dad stickers are from American crafts, Studio Calicos classic calico collection, cardstock stickers.

All other bits and bobs are from my craft stash.

Hope you all have a great day.

Hugs Karen
