CUTE AS A BUTTON APRIL INSPIRATION

Hello There My Crafty Friends,

I would like to share a card I made with y'all for the

Cute As A Button Showcase Blog

I love the 'Crazy Cat Lady' and her purr-friends.

 She reminds me of my daughter-in-love and how she loves cats.

Well, so does my son...but they love all animals. :)

...For This Card - Step By Step...
  White cardstock for the card base.

Cut a piece of brown paper with the frame die.

Used the same frame die to cut out the image...but cut the deco part off. 

Attached the image to the frame die cut with tape.

Attached the pink marbled cardstock to the center of the card with tape.

My hubby had used black paracord and took the other colors out of the center...

You can see where some of the colored cord went...of course I saved it to use. :)

Using two pieces of cord, I twisted them and glued them on the side of the frame.

Glued the ends of the cord behind the pink marbled cardstock.

Attached the frame to the center of the card with tape.

Made a bow with the two pieces of cord using the bow making tool.

Then glued the bow onto the side of the frame over the cord.

I had to add plenty of clear glue in the center of the bow, etc., to keep it together.

MIX IT UP CHALLENGE #12

Hello There My Crafty Friends,

I want to let you all know there's a new challenge starting today at...

Mix It Up

The theme for this challenge is...

Anything Goes with a Twist - Bleaching

When I first saw the theme for our challenge, I was thinking 

'What the heck is bleaching?" LOL.

So I looked and found a few different ways people use bleach on cards.

Here's one way that I really like, though did my own thing on some of it.

 

...For This Project - Step By Step...

I got the idea for using bleach watching this video:

 Sepia watercolor
Cut a piece of watercolor paper the size I wanted to use.
Put a drop of distress ink inside the of top of the distress ink pad.
Used a watercolor brush with a small amount of ink to brush on the paper.
I found out that it's best to wet the paper first, so did that.
Then continued adding a small amount of the distress ink until done.
I liked the wood look it was getting so fully covered the paper.
After letting that dry really well, I stamped the flower on with black ink.
After letting the stamped ink dry.
 Using a smaller watercolor brush I painted distress ink on the flower for shading.
After letting that dry really well.
Using bleach in a watercolor brush I painted where I wanted lighter areas.
Using a larger watercolor brush I put a few streaks of water below the flower.
Then with the same brush, I flicked water all over the paper.
After letting that dry really well.
Cut a piece of dark brown paper to frame behind the image and taped it on.
Then had my hubby cut a thick piece of chipboard to frame behind the paper.
Used the distressing tool around the edges of the chipboard.
Next used a lighter color brown distress ink around the edges.
Then taped the image onto the chipboard and will probably frame it. :)
