Welcome to WOYWW…the “What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday” blog hop created by Julia at the StampingGround, so hop over there to join the
fun.Despite having a 3-day weekend, I had very little craft-room time; but, what time I had seemed fairly productive! And…bonus…still pretty tidy; generally not an indicator of creative productivity!
So, what you see are two of the cards I finished, and
will actually be used. I know; odd statement.
But both were products of a class or challenge, which usually means I keep
them in my “Ideas” basket. But nope, these puppies are going to be sent out. There is the package of TH Christmas words
dies, which I really need to find a place for, a few of other various tools
that need to get put back in the carousel.
And here are the cards: This one will be for my girlfriends bbirthday , and I also used for the Compendium of
Curiosities Challenge #20, which was watercoloring using the Distress
Markers. The stamp is from one of the
Stampers Anonymous Classics sets. I
finally got to try the Distress marker spritzer…with mixed results. Probably needs practice.
This card for my Nephew’s birthday was done using a
technique I was following from the “Stenciled” Online Card Classes. This is where you aim at a corner, and let
the inks fall down the rest of the sheet. I used Dylusions Spray Inks; Love the
color…find them amazingly messy. At
least these were contained in a spray box.
And I think I got a bit heavy-handed;
but a pretty cool technique to remember none-the-less. (of course, now that I'm looking at it; not sure it fits an 11 year old boy, despite his obsession with fishing...hmm)
So this week is a bit more settled, so I’ll do much
better popping by, but head to Julia’s now and portal to other wonderful desks
around the world. Have a wonderful Weekend everyone.
Fun cards! I like the fish one. It gives you the feeling of looking down in a tiled fish pond. I like how your spraying came out. Fun times in your place! Judy #76

Don't look at it anymore Kim...it's fine really!! Nice technique, will store that, or attempt to, in the old memory bank! Well I think two cards based on challenges that you will be using is a triumph, so go you!
ReplyDeleteGreat take on the techniques/ challenges. I'm excited about the new Distress colors coming out this year. Creative Blessings! Kelly #70
