Hello friends! Time for another weekly challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More! We have a new guest designer joining us for the next two challenges.
Welcome to Darnell - we love your gorgeous creations and are happy to have you joining us.
ATS&M Challenge #85 is a Photo Inspiration Challenge based on this image:
I used the colors and the theme of strong women for my DT card. Take a look please:
This is a skinny card (3 3/4" x 6") as I wanted as much of the panel to show as possible. I made the main panel by using a watercolor technique. I pounced 3 different pink stamp pads (Pink Pirouette, Calypso Coral and Melon Mambo) down on a plastic sheet and then spritzed with water. Then I placed my watercolor paper over that and kind of mushed it down and around a bit. I lifted it and then spritzed again and then put it down one more time. I heat set it and then let it set over night before adding the embossed sentiment (drat - I got it a bit crooked). Then I used my gorgeous grunge set to add a few extra spots by using Basic Grey (stamped off once first) to the panel. Really happy with how it turned out and plan to show my card group this technique later this month. Messy but fun, and the results are stunning.
The other lovely ladies on the ATS&M DT have made some beautiful creations to share with you based on the photo inspiration. A big thank you to Kathryne for being our prize sponsor this week.
The challenge winner will receive 5 digital images of their choice.
