Finding My Mojo?

 

Okay, so I first want to apologize for my lack of posting this past week. I am on holidays and apparently my mojo went on holidays too-with out me lol! After travelling for over 10 hours on Friday with two children and trying to adjust to a 4 1/2 hour time change I finally did some stamping at 4am! (Not as bad as it sounds it was really only 11:30pm to me!) This is the card I came up with, having only taken limited supplies with me; 4 stamp sets (gasp), two ink pads, several markers and very few embellishments.

I decided to try something a little different when making this card. I used the Direct to Rubber technique with my markers colouring the flower images in with Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose, So Saffron,Summer Sun,Chocolate Chip, and Old Olive. I then very lightly misted the rubber with water and stamped on to a full piece of water colour paper. What I did next was a little different. I took my Blender Pen and in a small circular motion started to blend and soften the image. I then took my Pretty in Pink Marker and ran it along the edge of the paper to make a very fine out line. I am really pleased with the results as I was able to achieve a softened intensity, so to speak. I used a piece of textured Chocolate Chip card stock and put in on a So Saffron card base, applied two Chocolate Chip Brads to the main image panel, stamped the sentiment in Regal Rose and mounted on the crad. Very simple but I actually like the pretty and clean result.

I am thinking that you will be seeing a lot of very Clean and Simple cards over the next few weeks as that is really all I am able to make with my current supplies! Can you believe I used no Designer Series Paper or Ribbon? Enjoy your day!
