Runway Inspired - Homework Day 3 ~ Prints

I've have thoroughly enjoyed taking part in the Altenew Academy class, Runway Inspired Card Making.  I haven't had a chance to try out all of the lessons yet, but today was home sick (got sent home after an hour as I was coughing so much) and took some time to play with Day 3 lesson.  It was all about Prints. 

I have a pretty summer shirt that was my inspiration for my card today

 I love the colours and pattern on my shirt.  

I used Altenew Wallpaper Art stamps and did some masking. The leaves from the set were stamped with Evergreen Altenew ink.   I used Altenew Alcohol Markers - R217 Velvet and R206 Crimson to do some very basic colouring.  I used a sentiment from More Than Words stamped in Obsidian Ink.
I did the stamping and colouring on a layer the same size as my card base to give the impression of a one layer card.

Still got lots of ideas based on Jen's class.

Thanks for stopping by. 

A bit of Grey and Red

Over at Hero Arts Flickr group, Barb set a little challenge... to use Grey and one other colour and only Hero Arts stamp/s.

I chose to use Hero Arts Poppy ink with Wet Cement ink to make my card.  The Wet Cement is not quite as grey as I thought, but together they do look good.

I used stamps from My Favorites and Brush Strokes sets to make my splatters.  And the pen, ink splatter and ink pot were added.  I used the ink to water colour the pen and ink pot.  The circles are the top of stamp cleaner bottle stamped with the two inks.  

As I used some Stamp Your Story stamps I've added this to Hero Arts latest challenge as well. 

Today I was telling the girls at work about the Explosion Box I'm working on and next thing, I've got an order to make one for an Anniversary at the end of the month.   

Enjoy your week... the last week of August.  This year is simply flying by.
