So here is my make for today:
I love my neutrals but blue is also a firm favourite and I loved working in mono- colour...so decided to let some of my under used blue ink pads off the shelf to play!
I started by adding some studio 490 white texture paste through a leaf stencil...but Creative Expressions have new texture paste out in lots of yummy colours...and oops some fell in my basket..so more texture play to come me thinks!
Then I clear embossed some of the flower heads and flourish from the set to create a resist.(.because I added some water and heat set the ink, some of the clear has melted ...but I quite like the effect.)
I then added lots of yummy layers of distress ink in faded jeans and chipped sapphire. I then spritzed with water and heat set.
The sentiment is from art sayings set and is jam packed full of fab sentiments/sayings. I also added a bit of bubble wrap stamping. The butterflies were stamped and cut out .
Finally I added some scrummy seam binding , dyed using faded jeans distress stain.
well hope you like my make and will be back later this week with another..
have a fun and inky day!
