Good morning folks, we've got a new challenge starting at Vintage Stamping Challenges and our theme for February is 'Splatters and Drips'. We're a stamping challenge so make sure you ink up those rubber/clear stamps to play along (no digis allowed) and our lucky winner will receive a generous $20 voucher to spend at Flonzcraft!
I struggled a bit with this theme for some reason although I do love messy crafting. This was my last attempt lol. I began by stamping the focal images from the Flonzcraft stamp set 'Sweet Bird of Love' with versamark and embossing with Gold EP on cream card that I'd die cut. I then sprayed lots of glimmer mist over the embossing and let it drip down the cardstock.. Next I added some splatters of brown Tattered Angels glitter paint and left it to dry.
I used the same brown paint to give the birds a little definition and then added some stencilling with an Indigo Blu stencil and some gathered twigs distress ink.
To finish off I've added a seambinding bow topped with a brass flower and a pretty bead and a brass bird charm.
I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
Crafty Friends: animals/birds
Cut it up: love is in the air
My time to craft: love is all around
Moving along with the times: embossing
Sweet Stampin: Valentine
Wags'n'Whiskers: with love
Thanks so much for popping by today

I think this turned out really well. I love the splattered look as well as the aged look-love the edging
ReplyDeleteA super inky and splatter creation Claire, it's a fun theme isn't it.

It's funny I felt the same at the start and I chose the theme! Still, your make is inky and drippy and fun.
ReplyDeleteOoh, that's lovely! You'd never know it was a struggle to get there - love your drippage!

Just back from the UK Claire after having a super time with the grandkids, Alex has just turned 16. The first few months of the New Year are busy times for me going backwards and forwards to the UK. Amber will be 18 in March!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for being such a trooper at VSC.
Last attempt or not I bet the others were equally as good as this one. The drips and splatters look super cool
