Next, I used a thin watercolour brush with water and pulled the ink from the edges of the leaves and moved the colour around and into the background spaces. Once that area was dry, I stamped the image again before repositioning it into a new spot on the 4 x 6 " Bristol paper using my MISTI. Then, added ink splatters with the paint brush and gold Sheer Shimmer Spritz splatters with the nozzle straw. Once that was dry, I stamped the sentiment by mixing the Gratitude stamp with the "with" part of the With Sympathy stamp. Lastly, I wrapped the panel with twine, mounted it onto a 4.5 x 6.5" kraft card base, and added a few gold jewels.</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: courier;"><span face="verdana, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: courier;"><span face="verdana, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I am loving this branch of Leaves stamp as it lends itself to multiple uses.

I have used the pre-stamping with a white pigment ink on kraft for a past card creation on the Magenta Blog (you can see it <a href="https://www.magentastyle.com/2018/03/be-happy-soyez-heureux.html" target="_blank">here</a>) and wanted to experiment with how it would work with transferring the colour from an alcohol inked panel on top of the pigment ink. I think you will agree that it works great!</span></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxm0Gk6Xj9RUz_SmU0o08L2RKQ5W2kKgO13TUA6_TGI39sxOUKA4NlmsUZyt94EcaADyeL1jlXk3i5BZDYOWoW-fXRu2bm5o6-lup1AIwEy9zqIUw_FWZfziniltl-Z79I_tdGxP1Pue0/s640/Magenta+Hello+Card+Alcohol+Lift+Ink+Transfer+2021.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="639" data-original-width="640" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxm0Gk6Xj9RUz_SmU0o08L2RKQ5W2kKgO13TUA6_TGI39sxOUKA4NlmsUZyt94EcaADyeL1jlXk3i5BZDYOWoW-fXRu2bm5o6-lup1AIwEy9zqIUw_FWZfziniltl-Z79I_tdGxP1Pue0/w640-h640/Magenta+Hello+Card+Alcohol+Lift+Ink+Transfer+2021.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></span></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: verdana;">First, I made the alcohol inked panel on Yupo using blending solution, Amethyst, Pool, Turquoise, & Citrus Alcohol inks.</span></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: verdana;">This is another technique that works best with a stamp repositioning tool. I folded the kraft cardbase and placed it in the MISTI. I positioned the Mandala stamp partially off the side and stamped it multiple times with white pigment ink. After cleaning off the pigment ink, I swapped out the card for the inked Yupo securing it in place. I loaded the stamp with Alcohol Lift ink and stamped the panel. Next, I swapped the panel for the card and stamp transferred the alcohol ink that had been transferred to the stamp over the white pigment ink image. I repeated this process multiple times until I was happy with the colour coverage and intensity. I added some white splatters and set it aside to dry. Then, I white heat embossed stamped the Hello sentiment on vellum and fussy cut it before adhering it. To finish off the card, I added jewels around the mandala pattern.</span></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I hope you liked this technique and that I have inspired you to give it a try.

Once coloured, I spritzed and splattered the panel to get a bunch of texture. After the panel fully dried, I swiped it with an antistatic powder pouch and then used VersaMark ink to stamp the brush stroke heart from the Simon Says Stamp Brush Stroke Messages stamp set. I added clear emboss powder and heat set it. Next, I spritzed the panel and wiped of the colour for a muted effect and to accentuate the hearts. While that was drying, I die cut the Llama from glitter foam using the larger llama from the Hero Arts Llama Stamp and Cut set. Then, I stamped the sunglasses in Black Soot ink and the sentiment in VersaMark ink and heat set both with glasses with clear emboss powder and the other in white. </span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: verdana;">With all the parts ready, it was time to assemble the card. I glued down the panel to the card base corner. Next, I adhered the glasses to the llama before adhering it to the card. I popped up the sentiment and the added some shadow to the llama with a Stabilo All graphite pencil and water. Then, I glued on some Assorted Moonshine sequins thinking I was done but I decided it needed some more black so I added faux stitching along two edges. There you have it... Llots of Llove with a llovable llama.</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "";"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><br /></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "";"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">You can check out each challenges details over on the <a href="https://heroarts.com/blogs/hero-arts-blog/stay-crafty-with-hero-challenge-26" target="_blank">Hero Arts blog here</a>, <a href="https://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge/?p=24709" target="_blank">Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog here</a> and <a href="https://www.thedailymarker.com/2021/07/new-coloring-challenge-starts-sunday/" target="_blank">Kathy's Blog here</a>. </span></span><span style="font-family: verdana;">I am also entering this one into the SSS Flickr Challenge 182 - Anything Goes.</span><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "";"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><br /></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "";"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><br /></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: verdana, "";">TTFN,</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VLHWIdx_VCY/YRiwIqxMOzI/AAAAAAAAHgk/pI8i6EH2aB44JbvGVlgQM4xG3NFDjlRXACLcBGAsYHQ/s487/Signature%2BSummer%2B2.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="104" data-original-width="487" height="68" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VLHWIdx_VCY/YRiwIqxMOzI/AAAAAAAAHgk/pI8i6EH2aB44JbvGVlgQM4xG3NFDjlRXACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/Signature%2BSummer%2B2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

I started by stamping with VersaMark ink and clear heat embossing the image on 140 lb cold press watercolour paper. Next, I watercolour painted the panel with Grass Green, Hot Pink, and Turquoise Nuance powders. Once dry, after cutting a 1 1/2" strip from the panel (which is the part that I used on the first card), I used the remaining piece as the top part of the tent based easel card.</span></span></div><div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: courier;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: courier;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: courier;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjltKD0WQZbIQFGfcTXN98pZ5hZu77E8i2BWlTOuE9OTI4URmeK_LLsO_5nJ_aTTmsswvK0HS8TMac8llUJ_E1aS8ek73YGac10dQnD1kLHcwesNsYYhxRNbzrVYQGcRn1H0fN94-TZpCA/s2048/20210718_194113.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1505" data-original-width="2048" height="470" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjltKD0WQZbIQFGfcTXN98pZ5hZu77E8i2BWlTOuE9OTI4URmeK_LLsO_5nJ_aTTmsswvK0HS8TMac8llUJ_E1aS8ek73YGac10dQnD1kLHcwesNsYYhxRNbzrVYQGcRn1H0fN94-TZpCA/w640-h470/20210718_194113.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: courier;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: courier;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The card is 4 x 5 1/2" in size. Once you have the panel that you want to use created, set it aside as you prep the card base. Make a tent card for the size of the front panel that you wish to use. After you have made the first fold of your tent card, fold the top panel in on itself to the centre fold, halfing it or folding it in by one quarter. Then unfold it back to a standard tent card.</span></span></div><div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: courier;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: courier;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">For mine, I ventured into my stash and used some items that I haven't in ages. I used a lace pattern border punch on the edge of the top panel and added crochet ribbon and jewels. </span></span><span style="font-family: verdana;">Next, I added gold foil to the edge of the watercoloured panel piece and adhered it to the remaining 1 1/4" of the folded bottom part of the front of the card base.</span><span style="font-family: courier;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"> This leaves the top portion unglued which </span></span><span style="font-family: verdana, "";">it allows it to raise up once the easel part is created.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I used a 1/2 double sided tape on the bottom part inside edge and transferred gold foil onto it.

To finish the front, I cut and adhered a small piece of vellum to back the gold glitter wood veneer letters from a dollar store that I used for the smile sentiment. Lastly, I added some Stardust Jelly roll pen for shimmer to the centres of the flowers.</span></span></div><div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: courier;"><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi12Iy6hHWlO0I7Z_ck4UiEFOiuHp0sbhZwVr3e1qlBFYFjwGiProCKriwAg6O4ei-fil3tfna2p73kcotoIGwO3tvofmTw1ZKZz6HfTvk5uChyphenhyphenKZ1MFEr2sQ4lG8Gpsp0dHThncyOu0U/s1600/1627732647531621-2.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi12Iy6hHWlO0I7Z_ck4UiEFOiuHp0sbhZwVr3e1qlBFYFjwGiProCKriwAg6O4ei-fil3tfna2p73kcotoIGwO3tvofmTw1ZKZz6HfTvk5uChyphenhyphenKZ1MFEr2sQ4lG8Gpsp0dHThncyOu0U/w640-h640/1627732647531621-2.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /></span></span></div><div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: courier;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: courier;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I created a coordinating envelope out of green cardstock and I made it a bit larger to accommodate the size of the veneer letters. </span></span></div><div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: courier;"><div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div><span style="font-family: courier;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: courier;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLNkeS_0Hows5cmT52uXKz7yODdrtDtEnhmV4D5zW5ghUgLCUxXjT_EGSsUZ0C0Nz_cNn509bV0-HxWxxgzmJAblrT1IYWAkydQWnora0gD9V5NpGEwKJALy3GaxjQp1QgHugujZhyTjQ/s2048/IMG_20210731_081508.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2047" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLNkeS_0Hows5cmT52uXKz7yODdrtDtEnhmV4D5zW5ghUgLCUxXjT_EGSsUZ0C0Nz_cNn509bV0-HxWxxgzmJAblrT1IYWAkydQWnora0gD9V5NpGEwKJALy3GaxjQp1QgHugujZhyTjQ/w640-h640/IMG_20210731_081508.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: courier;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">There you have it, one watercoloured panel, two cards.

Today, I am up on the <a href="https://www.magentastyle.com/2021/06/savvy-creations-with-cassandra.html" target="_blank">Magenta Blog</a> with a simple Nuance watercoloured card made using the Magenta Floral Background stamp.</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: courier;"><span face="verdana, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: courier;"><span face="verdana, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: courier;"><span face="verdana, sans-serif"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Q8z4NYqH0Mk/YNsWVpZopdI/AAAAAAAAHaI/lRHy_3kNHmkI7P4lYMBoBRTck4WviFWPQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_20210629_084017.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Q8z4NYqH0Mk/YNsWVpZopdI/AAAAAAAAHaI/lRHy_3kNHmkI7P4lYMBoBRTck4WviFWPQCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h640/IMG_20210629_084017.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: courier;"><span face="verdana, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I started by stamping with VersaMark ink and clear heat embossing the image on 140 lb cold press watercolour paper. Next, I watercolour painted the panel with Grass Green, Hot Pink, and Turquoise Nuance powders. Once dry, I cut 1 1/2" squares out of it and arranged them on the 5 1/2" x 3 1/2" card base. Then, I stamped the Feel Better Soon with Black Soot Archival ink. Lastly, I embellished it with Moonshine sequins.</span></span></span></div></span>

Next, I used a rainbow assortment of <a href="https://www.magentastyle.ca/store/index.php?cPath=589&osCsid=pkn7okup297l85rmf5ncflnv45" target="_blank">Nuance powders</a> (Hot Pink, Orange, Bright Yellow, </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">Grass Green, Turquoise) and applied them with a one inch flat brush. Once the colours were set but not dry, I added corresponding splatter to each colour section. Once it was completely dry, I heat removed the clear emboss powder with a hot iron. This allows you to get a clear image when stamping on top and to heat emboss without fear of the emboss colours mixing and gives a no-line watercolouring look to it. Next, I heat emboss stamped the <i>Happy</i> from <a href="https://www.magentastyle.ca/store/product_info.php?products_id=15881&osCsid=pkn7okup297l85rmf5ncflnv45" target="_blank">Find Your Happy Place</a> and the <i>Birthday</i> from the <a href="https://www.magentastyle.ca/store/product_info.php?products_id=15403&osCsid=pkn7okup297l85rmf5ncflnv45" target="_blank">Happy Birthday</a> stamps. Then, I mounted the panel to a cardstock card base and finished it off by tying on some black baker's twine and added a few sequins.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">A pretty simple card that is sure to brighten any birthday recipients day.

I was in need of a crafty fix and happened across <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zI3gl_-u69Y" target="_blank">Marta Lapkowska's (Maremi SmallArt) live session YouTube video</a> as I was turning on the TV on a late Saturday afternoon. As I continued to watch while making dinner, a journal page idea formed in my head based on the digi files that Marta had created for the class. S</span><span style="font-family: verdana;">o after dinner and a walk, I was determined to carve out some crafting time and created this page.</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Working in my Strathmore 400 Series Mixed Media Visual journal, I tore and glued them down with matte gel. After they were dry, I brushed on a clear coat of gesso and then paint spatula scraped on a some white gesso. Next, I added Opaque Crackle Paste to three areas with a </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">Martha designed stencil that I love. I fussy cut out the images that I wanted to use while it was drying. For the hydrangea, I enlarged the page for the second printing so that I would have different sizes and I altered the smaller one by cutting out different sections when I was fussy cutting it.</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Once I was happy with that, I splattered the background with white and black acrylic paint. I adhered the flowers and the butterfly and popped up the Just Breathe with some cereal board. For the flowers, I extended the flower branches with a black fine Sharpie, added some highlights to the flower petals in some sections with a White Gelato, and adhered a bow tied with a piece of hemp string. Lastly, I added shimmery details to the butterfly with a Stardust Gelly Roll pen.</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Using some painter's tape to secure the stencil in place, the hearts were inked with different combinations of Distress ink for an Ombre effect. The single column hearts have Spun Sugar Distress ink for top third, Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide ink for the middle third and then Festive Berries from the bottom, all blended with a small blending brush. On the two heart column card, only the Distress Oxide inks where used and then water splattered and lifted to add a distressed effect. Once the inks were dry, the stencil was placed slightly offset to the left and a glitter pen was used to trace the hearts. On the single column, it was a Stardust Gelly pen and a gold glitter gel pen on the right. Additionally on the double column card, I then hand drew a messy line to give the hearts a doodled look. The With Love sentiment was stamped with Delicata Gold ink on the left and Black Soot Archival ink on the right with both being covered with clear heat emboss powder and heat set. I used a glue stick and gold foil to add a distressed gold border on the right. Both had tiny Moonshine sequins added to finish them off.</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: verdana; text-align: center;">Happy creating!</span><br />

I went into my stash and used old Tim Holtz Emboss Powders that are matte with crystals that you scrap off to give it a distressed weathered look. I used the Vintage Photo and Brushed Corduroy ones on the Creative Embellishments Steampunk Artist Trading Coins chipboard piece. I added some Seth Apter Baked Textures Patina Oxides embossing powder to in a few areas to give it an oxidized look for interest and dimension. Next, I adhered it a piece of Stamperia Mechanical Sea patterned paper. Once dry, I cut it out, sanded the sides and darkened them with a dark brown Sharpie Marker. After </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">I fussy cut coral from the patterned paper, I added shell bits and the coral. Lastly, I adhered the Secrets metal chain band.</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AiFCY1BsGqs/X7B0_smaC2I/AAAAAAAAHGU/0zYU9RW_ad0ovJ8f2S_YiB8jQQbZXAQtACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/BAC%2BSecrets%2Bof%2Bthe%2BSea%2Bdetails.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AiFCY1BsGqs/X7B0_smaC2I/AAAAAAAAHGU/0zYU9RW_ad0ovJ8f2S_YiB8jQQbZXAQtACLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h426/BAC%2BSecrets%2Bof%2Bthe%2BSea%2Bdetails.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: verdana;">H</span><span style="font-family: verdana;">ead on over to the </span><a href="https://bleedingartchallenge.blogspot.com/2020/" style="font-family: verdana;" target="_blank">Bleeding Art Challenge Blog here</a><span style="font-family: verdana;"> to see my fellow DTs' inspirational pieces and get details on entering the challenge.</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "";"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><br /></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "";"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">TTFN,</span> </span><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "";"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jcqbTUx-sQY/X7By7AbLQfI/AAAAAAAAHGI/ZAB-5pLDnCw6zLY01EvaEnEFxTgswPLDwCLcBGAsYHQ/s487/Signature%2BSummer%2B2.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="104" data-original-width="487" height="68" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jcqbTUx-sQY/X7By7AbLQfI/AAAAAAAAHGI/ZAB-5pLDnCw6zLY01EvaEnEFxTgswPLDwCLcBGAsYHQ/w320-h68/Signature%2BSummer%2B2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hi makers! Today's ICAD was born out of a session in using yet-to-be used products purchased months ago and trying out a combination watercolouring experimentation all with challenge parameters in mind. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Keeping up with my participation in <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span><a href="https://www.thedailymarker.com/2020/06/next-30-day-coloring-challenge-plus-5-00-off/" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;" target="_blank">Kathy Raccosin's the Daily Marker 30 Day Color Challenge</a> &<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span><a href="https://daisyyellowart.com/icad-base" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;" target="_blank">ICAD2020</a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">,</span> I once again incorporated them both. Wanting a vintage theme with watercolours to play along with <a href="http://www.vintagejourney.com/2020/07/watercolour-wonders.html" target="_blank">A Vintage Journey's Watercolour Wonders</a> proved to be an interesting challenge. I have done the shabby thing with my <a href="https://scrapsavvycreations.blogspot.com/2020/07/find-joy.html" target="_blank">'Find Joy' ICAD</a> so trying something simply vintage had me thinking of Tim Holtz products. This reminded me that I had yet to use the new Tim's products that I had ordered from Simon Says Stamp in March due to the nuttiness that became online teaching. I had ordered the Botanical Collage Tissue Paper and the World Traveler stamp set. As I looked at each product, an idea began to form.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I started with an index card that had been used to clean up an excess of Broken China Distress Spray Stain from my craft mat during some previous crafting session. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I try not to waste medium, so whenever possible, I transfer excess either on to index cards (knowing that I will use then each year during <a href="https://daisyyellowart.com/" target="_blank">Daisy Yellow's 60 Day ICAD</a>) or on an art journal page. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I had used the 'drag through and then pat it down' technique letting it dry a bit before patting it in some more until all the ink was sopped up into the card. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Broken China blue would provide a sky background feel for the botanical elements to come.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Next, I stamped the World Traveler definition text along the right side border to match up the border distress pattern in the stamp design using Jet Black Archival ink and a stamp positioning tool. After wetting the area around my desired images on the botanical tissue image areas with a water brush, they were easy to tear away from the whole piece. I used Tim Holtz Collage Medium to adhere them to the card and then used clear gesso over top so to provide tooth for watercolouring to come. Once that was dry, I coloured the berries with Seedless Preserves and the leaves with Peeled Paint by smooching ink onto my craft mat and then using a waterbrush to add the colour. I added some splatters of each colour and then set it a side to dry. While it was drying, I fussy cut out the robin from Tim Holtz patterned paper. After hitting the card with a heat tool just to ensure the watercolour was dry, I used the collage medium to adhere the bird rightside down to image transfer it. Once it was thoroughly dry, I spritzed the bir back with water and began rubbing the paper away. Once the image transfer was revealed, I felt it was too translucent and that even with adding watercolour, it would not pop enough. Then, I remembered that I was intrigued by <a href="https://www.thedailymarker.com/2020/07/day-16-tropical-flowers-honey-bee-stamps/" target="_blank">Kathy Raccossin watercolouring with Distress Oxides</a> and thought that might work. And it did! It turned out that painting with Oxides has a gauche like coverage. Only thing I found was that the painting looked too flat and I am limited in Oxide colours so I took out my Inktense watercolour pencilcrayons and added outlining and details with them which really worked. I am so pleased with how the bird turned out.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">While it was drying, I stamped the 'NOT ALL WHO WONDER ARE LOST' in Archival ink and then heat embossed it with clear emboss powder. Deciding it was too long, I cut the quote apart. Once the bird was dry, I distress blended the border edges of the card with Brushed Corduroy Distress ink, knowing that Opaque Crackle Paste takes on the distress colour that it is placed over. And, it didn't disappoint, as I stenciled the crackle paste on with the Blossoms stencil in three areas creating a visual triangle and then scraped on more with a palette knife to edge the entire card. Once it at over night and did its crackle thing, I adhered the quote to complete it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hello Crafty Friends! When I was rummaging through my scraps to make the ‘find Joy’ ICAD, I came across this Tim Holtz large tissue butterfly and thought it was perfect for a 4” by 6” index card. Along with that I had a leftover ‘be kind’ stamped onto muslin for the last card that I found was too big and too bold for that one but thought it was just right sizing wise when paired with the big butterfly. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I started by stamping the Kaisercraft Flutter Moroccan design on the index card. Next, I adhered the tissue butterfly with multi-medium matte and then clear gessoed over top of it. Once that was dry, I carefully applied Clear Rock Candy Distress crackle paint around the butterfly image covering the entire index card. Once that had set up and done its crackle thing, I then painted over top of it using Finnabair’s Tiger Orange liquid acrylic adding water as I went allowing it to seep into the cracks. Next, I used the Finnabair metallic Mermaid Teal watered-down with water to paint the lighter parts of the butterfly and then splattered the whole card with some.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Once all was dry, I used a black Stabillo All pencil to outline the butterfly and add detail. Then, I used a brush and water to activate the All pencil. Using DecoFoil adhesive pen, I put some on my craft mat and then used a toothpick to apply it to the very thin design lines of the Moroccan pattern in some places. Then, I used the adhesive pen along the edge of the card and applied the gold foil there too. Next, I distressed the edges by running a scissor blade along them and added splatters of Gold Sheer Shimmer Spritz. Lastly, I adhered the pre-stamped Simon Says Stamp Big Words ‘be KIND’ and called it done.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I started by using up scrap bits from creations that I had in my scraps bin on my table... vintage book page text, beige tissue paper, Tim Holtz tissue paper, stamped off bits from cleaning stamps, and vintage style patterned papers. After collaging them with Multi Medium Matte, I scraped on white gesso. Once dry, I covered the entire card with clear gesso so that it would have some tooth for the watercolours. Once that was dry, I used a flower from the <a href="https://www.simonsaysstamp.com/product/Simon-Says-Clear-Stamps-SPRING-FLOWERS-SSS101595-Reason-To-Smile-SSS101595" target="_blank">SSS Spring Flowers set</a> and stamped it with Jet Black archival ink. Next, I inked up only a portion of the stamp to create the smaller flower and then decided the first bloom needed to be bigger so added an inked up portion to it too.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Instead of masking off the flowers, I decided to add in the leaves and stems but using a watercolor ink. At first I tried my go-to no-line Tim Holtz Antique Linen Distress ink but due to the background colour, that didn't work so I used one of the leaf springs stamps and inked it with Tim Holtz Peeled Paint. Next, I used water and a paint brush to move and remove the part that I didn't want; providing some colour to the back of the image. While that was drying, I began to paint the flowers and then the leaves and stems with Mijello Mission Gold watercolour paints. Once the paint had dried, I used a black Micron pen to doodle with the lines on the flowers and added lines for the leaves and stems. I splattered around the flower with green paint and then with <a href="https://www.simonsaysstamp.com/product/Copic-OPAQUE-WHITE-WITH-BRUSH-APPLICATOR-053720-053720C" target="_blank">Copic Opaque white</a> after it had dried. Next, I arranged and stamped the sentiment using the SSS Big Words stamp set with Black Soot Archival ink and then finished the card off by sewing around the edges and adding white highlight to the sentiment with a Signo White pen.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hi crafty friends! Today starts a new challenge month at the </span><a href="https://bleedingartchallenge.blogspot.com/2020/07/july-challenge.html" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;" target="_blank">Bleeding Art Challenge Blog</a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">. As always it is an Anything Goes mixed media challenge. My Design Team inspiration creation for this month is a home decor canvas. I have a love of vintage things and even better if they are French inspired. This piece checks both boxes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NyPu5cIkYFw/XwjsRnsOPqI/AAAAAAAAG2A/yOpXOp6ZzT80pSVa-3dv-YPg_biDq-fCwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Bleeding%2BArt%2BJuly%2B-%2BFleur%2BDeGrace%2Bmed%2Blrg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NyPu5cIkYFw/XwjsRnsOPqI/AAAAAAAAG2A/yOpXOp6ZzT80pSVa-3dv-YPg_biDq-fCwCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/Bleeding%2BArt%2BJuly%2B-%2BFleur%2BDeGrace%2Bmed%2Blrg.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The background canvas was created with a layered resist technique using micro glaze and fluid acrylic paint. I started by covering the canvas with vintage collage medium. Next, I stenciled micro glaze through the Harlequin stencil and then sponged the whole canvas with slightly watered-down Emerald Fluid Acrylic. Once that was dry, I stenciled micro glaze through the Gothic stencil and sponged on watered-down Umber Fluid acrylic.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Once that was dry, I wiped off any residual micro glaze. I decided that the canvas needed some colour framing so I sponged on umber along the sides and edges and wiped some away as I went to keep with the distressed look.</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-small;">Supplies: Canvas and metal letters (Dollarama), Tim Holtz Harlequin and Gothic Stencils (Stampers Anonymous), Vintage Distress Collage Medium, Distress Micro Glaze, Gold Alcohol ink Mixative (Ranger), Finnabair Emerald and Umber Fluid Acrylic (Prima), fleur de lyse ornament (RAZ imports)</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">While that was drying, I brushed on some Gold Mixative Alcohol ink onto parts of the metal letters so as to match the touches of gold on the fleur de lyse. Once all was dry, I adhered the fleur de lyse and metal letters to the canvas and called it done.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Here's another look at the completed canvas:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Howdy crafty friends! Today, I am sharing am ICAD creation inspired by <a href="https://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge/?p=20629" target="_blank">Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge blog's Play with Paint challenge</a> featuring Dina Wakley products, <a href="https://rangerink.com/blogs/blog/dina-wakley-showusyourmedia-july-2020" target="_blank">July Ranger/Dina Wakley #ShowUsYourMEdia Grateful for Color challenge</a> and Kathy Raccosin's Coloring Challenge.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BDmlaNJTR-8/XwxEzKFS47I/AAAAAAAAG5E/0XErgm60OoUpBntPsy3x2wE8jnz51ggJQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/ICAD%2B2020%2BPaint-Bloom-Grow%2Bmed.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BDmlaNJTR-8/XwxEzKFS47I/AAAAAAAAG5E/0XErgm60OoUpBntPsy3x2wE8jnz51ggJQCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/ICAD%2B2020%2BPaint-Bloom-Grow%2Bmed.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />I pulled out my gellli plate for this and created backgrounds on a variety of 4x6" index cards and several 8.5x11" paper too. I used Dina Wakley Heavy body Acrylics in Turquoise, Peacock, Sky, Lime, Tangerine, Magenta, White. I used the Mini Favourites stencil, Text and Scribbles stamp, bubble wrap, and a small spray lid.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mkMEN7YI2M4/XwxOanbr2UI/AAAAAAAAG5Q/vyEdKICH8hk7HoHdhUeqzbzneqSUd5r5ACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/ICAD%2B2020%2BPaint-Bloom-Grow%2Bwhite%2Bmed.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1354" data-original-width="1600" height="540" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mkMEN7YI2M4/XwxOanbr2UI/AAAAAAAAG5Q/vyEdKICH8hk7HoHdhUeqzbzneqSUd5r5ACLcBGAsYHQ/s640/ICAD%2B2020%2BPaint-Bloom-Grow%2Bwhite%2Bmed.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I chose one of the more colourful ones as it fit the theme and then an idea formulated from there based on the Dina Wakley stamps that I have. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I stamped the flower from the Abstract Blooms 3 times with Black Soot Archival ink and then filled them in with Black Stabillo All pencil and a water brush. Once it was dry, I splattered it with watered-down black paint. Once it was dry, I white heat emboss stamped the paint, bloom and grow script words from the set in the middle of each flower. Next, I added polka dots to the leaves with a White Sharpie marker and then some white splatters with it too. Once that was dry, I sewed around the outside area two times.</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As you see, I now have a ready supply of Dina product inspired gelli prints for future use so don't be surprised if a few more ICAD's get made from these over the rest of the month.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Today was a rainy one which was ideal for spending the afternoon following along with Dina Wakley's Scribble Sticks Live class.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The kraft cardstock background was scrapped with gesso and then painted with Scribble sticks. I put down the leaves stencil and lifted off some of the colour using a baby wipe and then I splattered and edged it with watered-down Night. I stamped the sentiment and sewed it to the card with zig zag stitching. The flowers were stamped on Canson XL with Archival ink and coloured with Lime, Turquoise, and Night and fussy cut.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The bird was initially stamped with Coffee Archival ink on book text page but then I decided the text needed to be pushed back so I covered it with gesso before colouring it with Sky, Night, and Umber. I went back in with a black pen to define the lines.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Oh my goodness, how fun is that word?! Say it with me... catty-wampus!</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">[ kat-ee-wom-puh s, kat-uh- ]</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> LOL! Love it!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I had never heard of the word until <a href="http://sarascloset1.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Sara Emily</a> posted it as a <a href="http://frillyandfunkie.blogspot.com/2020/06/cattywampus.html" target="_blank">challenge on The Funkie Junkie Boutique Blog</a>. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sarah quoted it as meaning...</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">"appearing off center, diagonal from, crooked or not level, appearing askew, tilted or lopsided". She mentioned that it is something she hears around her home area in the Southern States.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It made me think of kitty-corner or catty-corner. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I had the urge to look it up discern the origin... waywordradio.org had this, "We do know the word has been around for more than a century and is spelled many different ways, such as catawampus and caddywampus. It may derive from the Scots word wampish, meaning to “wriggle,” “twist,” or “swerve.”</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This definition example from yourdictionary.com made me laugh because of the true to life picture it created in my mind... "An example of something cattywampus are the positions of the items on the top of a coffee table after a two year old has been playing with them and moving them around."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 16px;">Oh words are so much fun! Anyhow, I digress... on to the task at hand, sharing my Cattywampus creation!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">I created an ICAD with my mind on using up one of my little bitty bobs baggies that I had curated a while back. Using multi medium matte, </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I collaged the index card with a dictionary page from the 'C' section where cattywampus would have been if it wasn't a simple affordable home dictionary from 1977 that I found for crafting use. Then, I applied scrapings of white gesso and once dry a little touch of clear gesso knowing that I was going to add watercolour on top. On my craft mat, I scribbled a good amount of Chocolate gelato and mixed it with glass bead glitter gel. I stenciled with it through the Crafter's Workshop Mini Damask stencil. I use the excess on another sized index card and what was left of the dictionary page. Once the gel was dry, I scrapped a bit of gesso to add some white bits to the damask. Once that was dry, I added on Vintage Pink Glimmer Mist with the nozzle tube end around the damask areas. Then, spritzed it with water and angled the card to get the colour to run. After it set up a bit, using the nozzle tube again, I added some splatters. While that was drying, I scraped some gesso onto the play word, edged it with a brown sharpie and distress inked it a bit. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Next, I glued down the cheese cloth, lace, and old athletic tape all a bit cattywampus. I added the Create transparency and secured it with a mini brad and a few drops of Glossy Accents behind the 'A', 'T', and 'E'. I used a scrap bit of uneven dyed muslin to mat the corrugated play word and added the die cut butterfly slightly a skewed. Lastly, I added a second mini brad and a meandering brown craft wire for the final cattywampus touch.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">On this one, I added cheesecloth, spritzed kraft cardstock and old athletic tape and sewing it with a zig zag stitch with embroidery thread. I used a fussy cut Prima Apricot and Honey butterfly and pink craft wire for embellishments. The Magenta <i>Make Time to Play</i> was stamped with Black Soot Archival ink.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">On this one, I first stamped the background with Finnabair Messy Writing stamp with Jet Black Archival ink. I added tan tissue, the spritzed kraft cardstock and lace. I fussy cut another Prima butterfly but it was too pale against the background so I watercoloured it with Bubblegum and Guava pink gelatos and added highlights and shading details with a Staedtler brown and white pencil crayons and then outlined it all with a Stardust Gelly Roll pen for some sparkle.</span><br />
