Finish it Friday 4

Hello and thanks for stopping by for another Finish it Friday.

Iv'e really been looking forward to showing you this one.

I was prepping some samples for Leonie's Hochanda shows (Today 8am and 4pm), her new frameless stencils are very cool.  So i was playing with the Gel plate and ended up with tons of surplus bits-great opportunity for a Finish it Friday project I thought!

So this is what i started with...

The more colourful piece was the 'blot', the pale piece was just cleaning the stencil with a spray of water, and the lovely die cut is from the Daisy fresh cut die.

I trimmed off a strip of the colourful piece and brushed a little Blaze ink to take the whiteness away. Edge in black sharpie.

For the pale clean up piece, I just laid the stencil back over the card, lined it up and brushed a touch of Blaze ink and some lilac ink, i left the edges alone so the colour faded away.

Add a few splatters using the same red and lilac ink on a paintbrush.

Edge the card with black sharpie, add the brighter strip and tuck in part of the die cut.

Add a die cut sentiment, maybe a couple of 'coffee cup' style stains, wrap some twine around and bang the whole thing on an 8 inch card blank!

I loved this one so much played with the gel plate some more so i could replicate the card so i had one to give Leonie for her show and one for me to keep for my birthday card stash.

Hope you like it!
