Morning! I am always interested in trying new techniques and using new products for making cards. For this card I am using Paper Towels which I had on my work station. I was inspired by Loll's challenge at CAS Mix Up challenge to use/recycle inky paper towels. For my card I used a paper towel inked with Blue Distress Oxide inks and transferred colors on to a White CS. Check out Loll's video for instructions here. Before I added the flower you could see part of the word "Bounty" in the paper towel imprint. But I am not advertising any particular towel, just what I had and was not paying attention to what section of the towel I used. To finish the card I added some die cut flowers- Memory Box Darling Poppies- from Yellow and Green CS scraps. Stamped the GKD sentiment with Memento Bamboo Leaves ink. Attached to a Blue Card base.

ReplyDeleteYour paper towel transfer made a beautiful background for your pretty yellow poppies, Theresa! The combination of the long vertical line and the short horizontal sentiment is very interesting and wonderful design-wise. Thanks so much for joining us at CAS Mix Up!
