Today my leg isn't giving me as much 'curry' - less swollen and minimal pain (probably because I've spent a few days with it up resting) and I really felt like making cards.... SOOO I experimented a bit with my baby wipes and stencils... truthfully I haven't had much luck with lifting colour with BW but today I'm happy. I smooched a good layer of blues Distress Inks on white card and then decided to lay a new Baby Wipe on top of the starry stencil and used my brayer to 'lift' the colour...yeah it worked.... I really liked how it turned out (last pic) but notice how much the DI soften as the panel dried. Then I trimmed the panel, curved the corners and used a silver glitter gel pen to add sparkle to one of the stars and added a border of silver glitter card to match in with the star and my die cut sentiment... silver embossed the die cut and glued on extra sparkly glitter. To finish I stamped the rest of the sentiment on the card and attached my front panel.
I am sharing over at CAS Stencil September challenge - Baby Wipes AND to The Holly and Ivy Christmas challenge #56 - Anything Goes.Thanks for visiting, I really appreciate it - happy card making
