Sorry about the picture color, I was out on the boat all day today. It was so gorgeous out but extremely hot! Anyways, by the time I got home the sun was just starting to go down, so I ran outside to get some natural light, but as you can see that didn't work out so well. Maybe tomorrow I will redo the photo.
This is my very first card that I have made using the Distress Inks. I have been practicing with them for a couple of weeks now and have failed miserably! I tried 5 different types of watercolor paper (maybe even more) I was at Michaels the night before and had a 50% off coupon and pretty much the whole store was on sale so I said...hrmm....let me try the Canson, 140lb paper. I saw a post recently and she used that. So I tried it and I LOVE it. I tried the "bee" paper. I like it because I can use the Copics and DI on it, but I couldnt get the right control with it. The ink seemed to dry to quickly for me. I love this Canson paper.
I was trying to get some shading in it, I like it ok. I still need some practice!
The paper is all from Close to my Heart. Flowers are Wild Orchids. Sentiment is SU'. Not sure where the charm came from. The Distress inks I used were:
Face - Tattered Rose and Antique linen
Dress- Broken China
Hair - Scattered Straw and Vintage photo
Shading was pumice stone
I'm posting this for the Just Magnolia Challenge
Thats about it.....Thanks for looking and I have some Blog Candy posted below this post. Become a follower! Closes July 10th!
Hugs,
