Dinosaur birthday!


Hi everyone, I hope you're enjoying your weekend.
I'm procrastinating again lol! Oh well, I'll do the ironing after dinner.

I made a few backgrounds with oxide inks and photo paper, swiping them with a baby wipe to bring out the colours. Now some of the backgrounds I loved, and some...I didn't lol!
But I'm not one to waste anything, so from a murky green piece I diecut this dinosaur.

For the background I was going for a rocky toned prehistoric look!
I put tea dye and pumice stone oxide inks on my craft mat, spritzed with water and smooshed onto cardstock.

The birthday diecut was embossed with black sparkle embossing powder.

Here's a closer look.



I'm linking up to these challenges:

My elements are the baby wipe technique, stamping, watercolouring by smooshing, diecutting and wet embossing.




The Male Room, anything goes option.






Supplies:
Tim Holtz prehistoric die; Simon Says stamp Happy Birthday die; Spellbinders circle die; distress oxide inks; photo paper; versamark ink; black sparkle embossing powder; happy sticker; Lawn Fawn reveal wheel sentiment stamp; versafine ink & clear ep.

Thanks for visiting,
Cathy x

    An awesome dinosaur card, Cathy! You made a perfect use of the baby wipe technique and created this wonderful dinosaur. The murky green background is perfect for him and the shiny heat-embossed, die-cut sentiment pops. I love the variety of the texture!

    That's why I hoard paper! This is the perfect dinosaur and the coloring is perfect. Aren't you glad you saved it! You got great dimension with him. He looks like he can chase after someone right this very minute. Beautiful shiny sentiment.

    Hi Cathy, I must say that the murky green piece makes an amazing dinosaur. How serendipitous is that! I love the combinations you've used in creating your rocky look prehistoric style background. And to have him walk across the top of that gorgeous die-cut sentiment--perfect. Love it!
