Oops ~ a card for 2 Peas Stamptoberfest

Over at 2 Peas October is "Stamptoberfest" with lots of challenges ( here is the Master List) I did a card that I was able to enter into two of the challenges
Water and Ink ~ to use ink as a colouring medium and
Distress - don't stress ~ to use distress inks on your card.

I started with the Magenta stamp and  coloured with various distress inks then spritzed it with Tsukineko Sheer Shimmer Spritz.  When it dried I put it through my printer to print the Oops.  But it didn't go through straight... so the oops is on an angle... adds to the card I think...

Also entered into  Cute Card Thursday's  ~Animal Crackers.  I think I might try and find a frame and use this for a piece of artwork.

Just finishing this off and off to enjoy a beautiful Spring day here in Auckland.  A bit breezy, but the sun is shinning and the umbrella is now up on the deck table... so summer is on it's way.

Hope your weekend is going well....

Cheers

Distress at SSC

Yes, the September challenges are underway over at Simply Scrapping Crafts.   New month so a new sponsor...

E.A.D Design

 

The first challenge is a favourite technique of mine....Distressing - this is open to a ton of different possibilities! Distressing with inks, scissors, etc! 

Of course, I had to get out my Distress inks and have some inky fun to make a background.

I used a number of different distress colours and my foam applicator to colour the background.  I then spritzed it heavily with gold Perfect Pearls mist.  I used Vintage Photo to distress round the edge.  I stamped my focal image ~ a flower by Magneta.  I coloured it and then applied some Milled Lavender over the image.  I matted it and then distressed the edges with scissors and some Vintage Photo Distress ink. The sentiment is an E.A.D. sticker from this set.

Hope you will take the time to join us.... pop over to SSC and see what my teamies have come up with... and have a go at Distressing.

Cheers
