Hi everyone, been busy here for a while as both of my parents have been in and out of hospital.
My step dad is still there, hoping his procedure is a success!
This was a quick card to make for a friend's birthday.
I blended on a few blue distress oxide inks and spritzed with water. Love the textured effect it created. The surfer is a retired Stampin Up image, stamped in archival jet black ink.
I'm linking up to the water themed challenge at Seize the Birthday.
At Addicted to CAS it's a masculine theme.
I'm hoping the inky blue background is ok as "white"space.
It's a CAS theme at Addicted to Stamps & More.
At Simon Says Stamp Wednesday the theme is distress it.
Supplies:
Distress oxide inks; Stampin Up surfer stamp; Happy Little Stampers sentiment stamp from Doodled Flowers set; archival jet black ink and white versafine ink and white ep.
Thanks for visiting,
Cathy x

So cool and fun, Cathy ... what a fantastic sense of movement in the background ... and in that fabulous silhouette! Hope things have continued to go well for your Mum and Step-Dad. Hugs, Anita :)
