| Deepti's Card |
I scribbled an acrylic block with Distress Markers, spritzed with water & placed it on a panel of watercolor paper.
The words are from Stamplorations Trendy Butterflies & I added some splatters with the brown ink. 3 shades of twine were braided & glued to the bottom of the panel before I mounted it to a kraft card. I'm also entering the Make It Colorful challenge at SSS Wednesday. Edited to add: almost forgot to enter the perpetual Anything Goes challenge at Stamplorations.My second card uses pastel Distress Markers using the same technique. The silhouette floral image & sentiment are from SSS Warm Wishes.
I added some shine & sparkle with MFT Glitter Glaze. Last minute entry for SSS Flickr challenge #26 to Play with Pastels. My last card uses 4 blue Distress Markers used with the acrylic block & placed on the card front over the silver embossed Penny Black sentiment. Then I used the Taylored Expressions Snowfall embossing folder & spritzed with Tattered Angels Pearl.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
I really like this technique Greta and your cards are lovely. They all look very different too. Barbxx
ReplyDeleteGreta, I just can't keep up with you! Since I was last here you have made eight cards! It takes me several days to make one and I'm retired! They are all so pretty. I love the PTI SAF #2 inspired by Jennifer. I love that embossing folder you used and the colors. I also like the technique you used on today's cards.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! And what a good idea to make one layer christmas card, I might check that out! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYour one layer Christmas card is beautiful, Greta. Love the sentiment in silver. Thank you for sharing with us at OLCCC.
ReplyDeleteA great card full of color for our challenge, Greta! And I love that braided twine trim! Thanks for joining us at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty cards with lovely color! I must use my distress markers more! I've thought about the zig markers, too, but I have so many copics. Oh, what is a card maker to do...lol! Take care and hope you're having a great week!:-)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty cards!!!Love them all,love how you used your distress makers!!!Have a good weekend!!!
ReplyDeleteAll pretty collection of cards! I agree with you about wanting to get the ZIG Clean Color Watercolored Brushes! I really need to use what I have and STOP getting stuff that are similar to the stuff that I already own just because it's all the rage right now. Lol! But, hopefully my extra money come soon because I truly want to try them! Why do they keep coming out with awesome stuff?! Lol! :) Enjoy the rest of your week, Greta!
ReplyDeleteYour Distress Markers are doing you proud, Greta! Three very different and equally lovely cards!
ReplyDeleteGreta...these are amazing, a trio of beauty! So impressed with your new skill, you totally rocked it.
ReplyDeleteYour backgrounds look wonderful on all three Greta!!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful Greta!
ReplyDeleteWell-done!!

You've been busy playing with water, Greta! Love how you used the distress inks as watercolours. I tempted to buy zig clean brush too but they were rather pricey and will settle with TH inks at the moment.
ReplyDeleteI like that you can get such different looks with the same technique. The top card is so industrial grunge and the second one so soft and pretty while that third one is so textured. They are all very nice!
ReplyDeleteWow, Greta you have been busy with those distress markers. I love mine I rarely color with them full strength...I love them for water coloring. Your washes of color are fabulous backdrops for your sentiments. I particularly like your embossed and swished background.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh these are just so much FUN!! I love the results of your designs!! :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had a ton of fun getting all inky and messy! What a great collection of artsy creations, Greta!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty collection of cards Greta! Hope you have a fun and safe holiday weekend!
ReplyDeleteThree great cards! What a fun use of ink and color. I really like the blue splatter on your one-layer. As always, thanks for playing with us at Inkspirational!

ReplyDeleteGreta, what lovely cards you've created.
ReplyDeleteWell done for using your stash!! The olc you have made is beautiful - the blue splash effect is really delicate and lets the sentiment shine. Thank you for joining us at Inkspirational Challenges. Come back next time! Marina
ReplyDeleteAll great cards! Your one layer blue Christmas card is awesome. Love the splatters and the silver looks great against it. Thanks for joining us again over at OLCCC! :-)

ReplyDeleteWonderful cards Greta!! I must say it is so easy to be tempted to buy new things... there is just so much choice now!
