Takk

I have seen cards like this on Pinterest: the use of dies and color in the negative spaces... I like it, though it's not necessarily "my" style.

Here it is:


Supplies:

  • Tim Holtz Mixed Media dies
  • Panel on watercolor in background sprayed with Dylusions in After Midnight and London Blue, then washed with water a bit to blend and speckle.
  • Distress Spray in Antique Bronze added to the panel for additional speckling.  Anybody switch their bottle to a different sprayer for this?  Every time I use it, I end up taking the damned lid off and splattering with the tube... rrr...
  • Thickers for the Norwegian sentiment (thanks... this *might* go to a Norwegian friend...)

I'd like to share this at the following challenges (more than usual... I know... I guess with my limited crafting lately I feel like I miss my peeps, so I'm letting ya'll know I'M HERE! LOL):

    I like it too, Mimi, and actually have that die. The blue panel is beautiful behind the cut and the silver sentiment is the perfect choice to finish it off. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Just Us Girls.

    Oh, it's a die, I thought you'd used a stencil, but now i see it's not an embossed but debossed like pattern. Nice. And cool colors! And here's a sentiment in a language I know:)
