These months are flying by far too fast this year and it's my turn to be your designer again over at Muse this week. I love it, of course, but it only seems like last week I was writing my last Muse post!
Hopefully you can grab some inspiration from my card this week. I've included masking, ink blending, stencilling (water spritz colour lift), a glossy die cut and embossed sentiment strip. Or perhaps you can take the colours or layout as your starting point.
Here it is...
I seem to be drawn to the purple/blue/green combo quite a lot but I haven't used these particular shades of ink together before. I masked a diagonal strip of a white cardstock panel and blended the three Distress Ink colours. With the masks still in place I laid a swirly stencil over the ink blending, spritzed with water, removed the stencil and waited a few moments before blotting with a paper towel to remove some of the colour. I still love the moment the masks are removed and reveal those lovely clean lines of blending against the white! I popped the panel up on fun foam before adding a black die cut sentiment and the remainder of the sentiment heat embossed in white on a strip of black. I finished by adding some Glossy Accents to the die cut to give it some shine.
Materials used:
- Ink: Distress Ink - Dusty Concord, Faded Jeans, Pine Needles; VersaMark
- Stencil: Neat & Tangled - Swirly Twirly
- Die: Wplus9 - Sending Hoping Wishing
- Stamp: Altenew - Beautiful Lady
- Embossing Powder: Wow! - Opaque Bright White
- Accents: Ranger - Glossy Accents
Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you can play along this week, it will be great to see your interpretations of this one.
