Full Bloom Christmas

Thursday, 19 August 2010
Just had a couple of hours to play, so I made some backgrounds with Ecoline inks – watercolour paints. I just used a pipette to put a few drops of red and yellow on a non-stick craft mat, then spritzed with water and picked up the colour with some white card.
Then stamped the Paperartsy image (and clear embossed) and the Hero Arts Friends stamp (using Wild Honey Distress ink). The words are from various stamp sets and are all clear embossed.
Theme Thursday challenge for this week is Children.
Gingersnap have a red, yellow and orange challenge but they also have a Paint challenge, so this fits both.
Rainbow Lady’s Challenge for this week is ‘Paint it’
Don’t think I’ve ever entered a card for so many challenges in one go – quite coincidental, lol.
(I’ve changed the image to a photo because the scan made it look more ochre than orange and it was WAY too bright!)
