With Spring showers in the air, I thought it would be fun to have a misting or spray challenge. Yesterday I was out to the post office for the second day in a row and it was a downright balmy 4°C…that’s 40°F. 🙂 Actually, it DID feel balmy and just wonderful. Kind of tells you what our winter has been like if that feels super warm, doesn’t it?! 😉
For today’s challenge…almost anything goes…you just need to find ways to spray it. Be it Glimmer Mist, hairspray and pearl ex, airbrush system, spritzer, water misting…just have some fun and create your own “showers” of spray. Check out the challenge here at WT159
I’m All Shook Up
Yes…Elvis is back in da house with a new release. 🙂 I had so much fun playing with the fun elements of this design. I wanted to go with a funky look using the new Elvis’ Guitar release from Cornish Heritage Farms. To create this design, I simply stamped my guitar and sentiment onto some white cardstock with Black Palette Hybrid ink.
After stamping, I sprayed the image panels with my Glimmer Mist for a shimmery, mottled look. I had a difficult time capturing in the photograph but I love the cool look.
To create the background panel, I ran some Basic Grey black/charcoal distressed patterned paper through my Cuttlebug with the new Allegro embossing folder and then lightly sanded to expose the inner core. Some stitching adds texture.
Quick Tip: Want embellishments that project off the card but still have it fit in an envelope. Start with your original card size…decide where you want something to project out and how much. Trim the card size down. In this case I started off with a 5.25″ square card design and then trimmed off an inch to allow for the transparency.
Hope your day rocks!
