Hello and welcome. Today we are making masculine cards at The Watercooler Wednesday Challenge and Marsha is our hostess. I like the look of grunge/mixed media cards but I've never made one myself. I decided to give it a try with this dragonfly.
My Process:
- I started by inking my glass media mat with various shades distress ink. I sprayed with water and then laid a sheet of watercolor paper on the ink/water. I dried with a heat tool and repeated this process a couple of times.
- After the panel was dry I stenciled and stamped random elements on the panel
- I then heat embossed the dragonfly and sentiment.
Supply List:
Visible Images "Live In the Moment" dragonfly stamp
Visible Images circle stamps
SSS Sketchy Lines background stamp
Tim Holtz Brick Layering Stencil
Ancient rubber stamp numbers
Stamps of Life sentiment
Nuvo Hot Chocolate Embossing Powder
Various colors of Distress Ink

This is a fun technique that I want to do again in the future.
I am so pleased that you stopped by!
