Thanks to Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge for selecting my card as an Honourable Addict.
Also thanks to CASology for choosing my card as winner of their #350 Challenge – Water.
Hello and welcome
It’s time for the next challenge over at Watercooler Wednesday. Marsha is hosting the Masculine “Anything Goes” Challenge.
I hope you can find the time to join in.
This week my card was another fun creation!
To start, the side panel is masked off and the images from MFT – Otterly Love You set was stamped once on the panel and once on masking paper.
After fussy cutting the masks, they were added over the images.
The SSS Waves stencil was placed over the top and with brushes, Distress Inks was added in different colours.
After removing the stencil, some water spray and flicks was added to give effects.
The MFT Cloud stencil was used above the waterline, again with Distress Inks.
After removing the stencils, a small wash of lemon was added across the horizon line and the otters and rocks were watercoloured.
The Scrapmatts stencil was then used with Hero Arts white ink to make some bubble.
Wink of Stella was added over the bubbles and the white parts left by the waves stencil.
The panel was then added to the card front.
Working with so many stencils, this card was quick to come together. I was really happy with the way it turned out.
Don’t forget to head over to our blog to check out the wonderful inspiration from the rest of our Design Team.
I look forward to seeing what you create this week!
Thanks so much for taking the time to visit. I love to read your comments.
Have a great day
Cheers
Helen
