Wildflower Silhouette

It's ANYTHING GOES at the Crafter Cafe this time, be inspired by the DT and join us here:  crafterscafeblogchallenge

Thanks to our wonderful sponsor Artsystamper for the  image, get it here:  etsy.com field-flower-silhouettes-nature

I made the background by smooshing several Distress Inks and printing the paper into it.  When dry, finely splattering D.Inks over, then printing the digital image.  Edges inked.

It is a full body image, I just cut it down for my card because I wanted her bigger. And what about that cute wee kitty?   Get it here:  stampersdelights-chibi-my-kind-of-crazy

I made this for a friend of mine who is going through a hard time at the moment.   I gave the image a haircut to match my friend.

MY favourite colour combo is blue and green!

Petite Paris

At the Crafters Cafe, our theme is Anything Goes this time.   Check it out and get inspired by the design team, here:  crafterscafe

Our sponsor is beccysplace.  Beccy has lots of great images and some freebies too.

This time I chose a little bit of frenchness!  One of these little shops is la patisserie - my favourite place!  The little pastries and cakes are always exquisite and a feast for the eyes.

There is no sentiment because I thought it could be used for many occasions that pop up, and it would be easy to put one on in a hurry if needed.

This one uses the bleaching and colouring technique.  I forget where I learned this, probably youtube.  It's also great for using up those snippets and tiny bits of leftover card.

First stamp and heat emboss onto coloured card.  I used clear EP.  Then use diluted bleach on a paintbrush to take some of the colour out (kind of reverse colouring).  Then, when dry, I used pencils to shade where I wanted more colour, and because I used textured card, I got a lovely effect with the pencils.  Cut out and add to background.  The background uses the same stamp.
