Morning all, today marks the start of a new challenge at ATSM.
This week we are asking for you to create a project by
Making your Mark
So any project that includes inks, markers, pencils etc as the main focus.
This week we are sponsored by
who are offering a prize of 5 digis
Here is my card for the DT inspiration.
I made it with a couple of challenges in mind.
Less is More - colour challenge
 |
Allsorts - Favourite things
I so love this die from Memory Box, I don't get fed up using it. I looked to get another similar but the one I got doesn't have the same appeal when I tried to use it. This Glorious Gardenia is just so versatile.
I used DIs to watercolour the base then put a silver die cut on top with a few spots of colour.
The end result is never very precise using this method but the overlay of the die cut sharpens up the result. I used a few sequins and some lime bling as well as a sentiment die cut from Spellbinders 'Celebration 2' in black. The colour in the photo is a little bluer than the original for some reason.
OK that's about it, so why not pop over to see what the rest of the glorious DT have created for your inspiration, then join in, simples.
This is gorgeous! That silver die cute flower is awesome over that watercoloring - what a great card!
