Another new Technique

 

Good Friday Morning Ladies, 

This week has flown, I have thoroughly enjoyed this challenge, looking up new techniques to create fun backgrounds has given me lots of ideas.  

I started a task that I regretted after about an hour, since we moved in the drawers in our big chest of drawers in our bedroom were put in the wrong order,  we usually have underwear etc in top drawer, jeans and trousers in the bottom,  its easier for me to have the things i reach for most on hand, bending to get to the bottom drawer can be agony and can make my hip dislocate really easily.  So i took everything out of all of the drawers and rearranged them in the right order, during the process however,  it looked like a bomb had gone off, piles of clothes everywhere!   I ended up deciding to have a cuppa and a snack, I sat at my desk and after a brief scroll on Pinterest I thought I would try Brushos, around three hours later I thought I'd better stop and get back to the job I started 😔.  I think I finished at around 7pm!! Although that included doing Paul's chest of drawers.  

Today's card was made using a new technique, I don't think it has a name though. 

I got some SU inks out and a piece of Watercolour card,  the key piece in this technique is Baby Wipes,  fresh out of the packet so that they are wet, you then scrunch up your wet wipe and tap it onto the inkpad, then tap gently onto your card in the areas you want the ink,  adding more colours as you need them, when you are happy with the colour tap over the area with a clean wet wipe to blend and soften the colours.  

I then took Gorgeous Grunge and Timeless Texture stamp sets to create the grungy style background,  finishing with some black posca pen splatters. The die cut heart and sentiment finish the look and the final flourish was some Coordinating sequins and some Wink of Stella. 

I hope that you all have a fabulous Friday, 

Love and hugs to all of you,
