Hi everyone :-D
It's time for a new challenge at Crafty Creations Challenges.
Our theme for this fortnight is #299 - Falling For You. Love cards, autumn/fall theme, autumn/fall colors, falling leaves... Imagination is yours! :-D
Our sponsor for this challenge is Stitchy Bear's Digi Outlet, with a prize for our random winner: 3 digital images of winner's choice maximum valued 10$.
For this challenge I made a love card in autumnal oranges, using our sponsor's lovely digital image 'Flutter My Heart'. It's this Flutter My Heart Card
I played a bit with digital image on computer and created "sentiment circle" around butterfly. When I was satisfied with the image, I printed it on a white watercoloring paper and filled white spaces with black permanent marker. I left it dry for an hour to prevent any ink smearing while coloring.
I used ink smooshing technique for coloring. I love this technique and results. :-D
This time I didn't smoohed colors on the panel using transparent bag, like I did in my two previous attempts (you can see them here and here). I smeared colors on my glass working surface, sprayed them with water and smooshed the panel directly in colors. I repeated smooshing colors, drying layers in between, until I was satisfied with results. :-D
At the end I sprayed and splattered whole panel with water. For spraying I used sprayer bottle and for splattering fine paint brush. I love how Distress Inks react with water. :-D
I wanted to keep my card simple as possible, so I just glued panel on a white cardstock card base.
