Hello and hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. It was a good time for me to catch up on a few things I've been wanting to do around the house. We have been traveling a lot lately, and we finally have a couple months before our next trip. It really makes me appreciate my home life.
For today, I would like to share a card for the latest Corrosive Challenge Blog: Anything Goes.
Since I've had such limited time for crafting, I made a fairly simple card. I'm featuring Thessa from Lee Ann's World on Etsy. I was going for monochrome so I created my background on 110lb white by putting down some copic ink on acetate and adding a bit of alcohol, then I flip the cardstock onto the acetate (I find this is cleaner than flipping the acetate onto the cardstock). I made my background a bit too flat, so I dropped plain alcohol on the paper which made the water like effect.
My sentiment was made using individual alpha stamps and I messed up by not putting the "BIG" more in the right corner. Well, I tried. And overall, the card is still pretty cute IRL and I will send this along to a mermaid lover.
Join in this month if you get a chance. Always a favorite challenge, and it runs for the entire month.
This meets the following challenges: Through the Craft Room Door: Anything Goes, Get Creative: Monochrome, Challenge Up Your Life: Vitamin Sea, and My Time to Craft: Seaside.
Love the colours so pretty.x
ReplyDeleteLOVE that background with your gorgeous mermaid. Your coloring is always awesome. Sometimes it is nice to be home. I just need a vacation. I have a trip scheduled at the end of the month, but it is to attend a funeral. Family obligation, but NO FUN!!!
ReplyDeleteI really love the monochrome and alcohol ink backgrounds are so much fun! Thank you so much for entering our ATG challenge at Through The Craft Room Door this week. Looking forward to see you again next challenge.

I must get back to playing with inks like you did with the water I love all monochrome purple. Yup, what fun to travel and then there's no place like home. Go figure! PS I love any thing beachy and the water.
ReplyDeleteA very cute card!
