For this card I used an aperture card to mask the front of my card blank, then I sponged it with Distress ink. I stamped the image and then removed the mask, then drew lines around the image.
The stamp that I used is a B Line Design stamp.
For the background I scribbled on an acrylic block with some felt tip pens and sprayed it with water then I stamped it on my card blank. I then stamped the image and sentiment with black Archival.
I use a Dina Wakley stamp.
Love the sherbert colours on the first one, Hazel - and the watercolour effect on the second is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteHi Hazel, Both cards. Are great! Love your loose watercolouring on the lady! X
ReplyDeleteIt does seem to get quieter in these summer months... lovely to catch up with some of your work though. I love the watercolours around the silhouette in that second one - amazing!

Never would have thought to use an aperture card in such a way - that is clever.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful use of colours on both cards.
