Happy Sunday, and Happy Mother's Day! I thought I'd show you the card I've made for my mum, using the Pomegranate Bits from Julie Fei-Fan Balzer.
There are two masks in the pack, and all I did was ink them with Distress Ink Minis, spritz lightly with water, then lay each one down onto white card, pressing with kitchen towel to ensure full contact and to make sure the inks blend.
When you remove the mask, there is still sufficient ink left on it for another quick spritz and a softer image. You can also use either side of a mask, which helps to give a bit of variety to your composition.
To finish off my card, I defined the edges of the images by very quickly and loosely scribbling around the edges with a fine tipped black pen. I created a matching sentiment by watercolouring the same Distress Inks onto white card, then die-cutting the Hero Arts Happy Stamp & Cut, and stamping the rest of the sentiment, then mounted the whole panel onto yellow card.
That's it from me today - enjoy the rest of your weekend!
