Hi everyone, I'm back after a bit of a break.
Life was so busy that I had no time in the craft room.Still getting through a huge list of things I have to do but I'm feeling like I can cope a bit better now !
I was inspired by the challenge at Freshly Made Sketches for this layout. I've rotated the sketch so I hope that's ok.
I used regular and pearl alcohol inks with blending solution on glossy card stock for the panel. I also spritzed some isopropyl alcohol lightly to get some more dotty texture.
I added some patina foil onto the sticky ink residue and the stars are diecut from silver foil paper.
Here's a closer look.
The theme at Work it Wednesday is to foil it.
At Simon Says Stamp Wednesday it's anything goes.
Inkspirational has a choice of using 3 or 5. I've gone with three stars.
And at Watercooler Wednesday it's all about occasions.
Supplies:
Ranger alcohol inks, regular and pearl; Papertrey Ink star dies; Rebekah Meier patinal foil; silver foil paper; sentiment sticker.
Thanks for visiting,
Cathy x
