• That's Crafty Dinky faux brick stencil (TC026) through which I applied Memento dandelion ink using a brush

And now for another make ..

My card

And a closer view - to show the texture and glitter granules

 

The front, back and inside of my card along with the front and back of my envelope

Materials used:

• White 15cm square, 250gsm, card and matching sized envelope
• Two pieces of white card cut to 14cm square
• Additional snippet of card with two holes cut out (using a circular die) 4cm diameter, to use as masks
• Using Tim Holtz mini blenders I applied Distress Ink in squeezed lemonade to one circle, picked raspberry to another and then both colours applied to the overlapping circle.
• Using the same masks (to confine the spray) I applied Crafters Companion spray and shine to the circles, to protect in transit
• For the back of the card, insert and envelope I used MFT (party patterns) and stamped using Memento inks in dandelion, rosebud and tangelo
• Imagine That sentiment stamped using Memento tuxedo black ink
• Stamplorations stencil through which I applied Faber Castell glass bead glitter gel using a spatula - you can see the granularity in the close up pic above - it dries to a FABULOUS twinkly finish
• Finally, the image panel was attached to my card using dimensional foam tape

I'll be entering the above make for the following challenges:-

1. Simply Less Is More - challenge No. 347 - SKETCH
2. Crafty Catz - challenge No. 385 - ANYTHING GOES + OPTIONAL BIRTHDAY
3. Just Add Ink - challenge No. 378 - TEXTURE
4. Creative Artiste mixed media challenge - challenge No. 30 - ANYTHING MIXED MEDIA GOES - given I used stamps, inks, masks, stencils and glitter gel paste I'm hoping it's mixed media enough

Kraftin' Kimmie says you can use their theme OR their sketch OR both

I didn't use the sketch, only the theme
