This card is for 2 challenges.
1.The first challenge is for PTI's Make it Monday challenge which was to use ink blending techniques.
I took a piece of white CS and then used Distress Inks (Antique Linen, Peeled Paint and Worn Lipstick) to colour the background. I then stamped with Text Style and Sheet Music bg stamps. I also embossed a flourish in white. Next step was to cut my squares. I used the Take Three die.
2.The second challenge was for the Cards challenge on the Create blog. This week the challenge was for grid cards. I had no idea where to start so I did some Googling and wow, there was such incredible inspiration, in particular, Jacqueline. Check out her Flickr pool, you will be inspired.
Super pretty Lee, really love the panels of stamping along with the soft touches of blending...congrats on your tweet! Hugs!

ReplyDeleteLove this, Lee! The white embossing is a great touch!
ReplyDeleteI love the design on this!! And I love how you did the background.
ReplyDeleteIt's beenn so long since I had a chance to visit you, Lee, that I had to keep scrolling and scrolling to see all you've been doing -- so much inspiration here! But, since -- as usual -- time is short, I thought I'd try to only comment on one. And this one about took my breath away. It's a brilliant design for both the grid card and the sponging challenge. Love how you even kicked it up a notch by doing the embossing in white. Great card!
