365 Cards: #66 DIY Patterned paper



Challenge #66 on 365 cards  is to create two different patterned papers to use on your card. You can use any technique you want to do this - sponging, stamping, watercolor, anything you can think of.   I chose to try Tim Holtz alcohol blending solution and Palette dye re-inkers.  I used Tim's felt stamping tool with a piece of felt attached and put drops of re-inker on the felt.  I added the blending solution to the felt as well.  With a pouncing motion, I pounced the ink on to glossy photo paper.  I stamped the fish with a black versafine ink pad and attached the glossy paper to green cardstock.  I used a journaling stencil and tombo markers to make the background waves and added a ribbon the same color as the water, and completed this fun and simple card.

365 Cards: ABC's of Crafting M,N,O

Yesterday's Alphabet Challenge was to use the letters M for Markers, N for numbers and O for the color Orange.  I had fun using my grungeboard numbers and word wundow by Tim Holtz.  I used ink to turn the grungeboard brown, and used marker to ink the "Happy Birthday" stamp in keeping with the challenge.  I added more embellishments like ribbon, brads, flowers, and making memories "celebrate" charm to complete this bright and happy card.
