Charmed by Love

 Another post playing with Distress Inks and Winnie & Walter.  Winnie & Walter's Share the Love Week is featuring Tim Holtz Distress Inks  all week and are having some challenges for us to join in the fun.  Day 3 they are doing   the technique Resist! For the challenge use some embossing powder or paint with your Distress Inks. 

My card began with stamping love from Winnie & Walter's set The Big, The Bold and The Happy, and also  a charm stamp with versamark and embossed with Ranger White EP on a piece of watercolor paper.   I then put some Wild Honey, Picked Raspberry, and Barn Red distress Inks on a craft sheet and  sprayed water over the ink and then put the paper down on the watery ink  and played with this until I had an effect that I liked. I dried the paper, trimmed to the correct size and attached to a Yellow Card base.  To finish, I stamped one more heart charm on a leftover scrap with Versamark and heat embossed with White EP. But on this charm I also stamped and embossed  a small LOVE from the same Stamp Set mentioned above.  I inked this with Wild Honey DI and trimmed out the charm and attached with glue dots. Added some Glossy Accents to the charms.
 I enjoy all your comments. Thank you. Theresa

Love those Distress Inks

 

Once you start playing with Distress Inks, it is hard to stop.  You never know what you may end up with and no two creations are the same.  Day 2 at Winnie & Walter's Share the Love Week featuring Tim Holtz Distress Inks includes the trend of using  Ombre  .  They are featuring use of these inks all week and are having some challenges for us to join in the fun.  Day 2 Challenge is to create a new Ombre project using Distress Inks + at least one (1) w&w product .  I made this card to enter for Day 2  Share The Love with Distress Inks. I chose DI Spun Sugar and Picked Raspberry to make a background panel with white cardstock by sponging 3 sections with the chosen inks. I cut one wider and one narrow section of this paper lining up the sections on a White card base flipping the narrow section on the left side just to different.  To finish I cut "love" 3 times in different sizes from Glossy White CS with the cut file from Winnie & Walter using my Cameo.  I attached the words and added some hearts punched with an EK punch from leftovers of  the Ombre Paper that I made and scraps from glossy White CS.  I arranged the hearts with glue dots falling down the card reversing the color direction of the Ombre colors.
Hope you join in some of the fun at Winnie & Walter Blog.

Watercolor with Distress Inks

 

 Winnie & Walter Blog are having  Share the Love Week featuring Tim Holtz Distress Inks.  They are featuring use of these inks all week and are having some challenges for us to join in the fun.  Day One kicks off with a challenge: Watercolor/Watercolour!
I fell in love with a card made by Laura and ended up Casing her card.  I rubbed the ink pads onto the small piece of watercolor paper and  sprayed it multiple times using a mister letting the ink run down and create my background.  I used Distress Inks Picked Raspberry, Wild Honey, and Barn Door.  I trimmed the paper to fit the card base of Pink CS.  I cut 6 hearts with the Nesties 3 smallest scallop heart dies from pink CS and vellums, yellow CS and vellum.  I stacked and stitched the hearts together and attached to the card. When looking for something to complete my card, I found some forgotten Heart beads that looked great with my card. I stamped LOVE from Winnie & Walter stamp set The Bold, The Big, and The Happy with DI Picked Raspberry.

Challenges:
Winnie & Walter Blog: Watercolor/Watercolour using distress inks
CAS-ual Fridays: Summer Lovin'  use hearts in summer colors

Thanks to Lin for bringing this watercolor challenge to me on her post yesterday.

Two Challenges in One

Hello!  Today I made a card that covers 2 challenges... kind of a 2 for 1.  CAS(E) this Sketch is  pairing up with Fusion this week for a joint challenge ....use the sketch (good for both challenges) or only use the picture (Fusion challenge only).  I decided to combine the sketch and photo inspiration and pulled out the butterfly, gold, shiny, and thread (twine ) elements to use with the sketch.  I used a pattern paper as the background and wrapped the ivory strip (modified the shape a bit) with Gold Metallic thread and added 3 gold dots (sequins) and gold embossed sentiment. The butterfly die is very delicate....have not used often but like it for this card.
