Speed Craft Sunday 6

Afternoon!

Firstly, i wonder if you will notice that i have used the same stamp for this weeks SCS (no not the sofa company) as i did for last weeks? well i only just realised when i was loading photos and spotted last weeks photos lol, but actually i'm not worried because iv'e done very different things with the stamp, so i'm gonna let myself off the hook!

I started the project this morning before i left home for the poker finals...nope i didn't do too well this time, bad cards bad cards and then more bad cards, but its always fun, and it meant i could get home early and crack on with some work.

I stamped the Poppies then covered with masking fluid, i left it to dry while i went out, although it only takes a few minutes to dry i didn't want to rush it and risk ruining it.

I added a few splashes too.

Then when i came home, i used one of Leonie's new stencils and brushed some Apricot ink first, then added Blaze for a bit more depth.

Rub off the masking fluid CAREFULLY, i tore a tiny bit of the card by being heavy handed.

I toyed with the idea of colouring the poppies with very pale apricot, but i worried about a mottled effect where the card was torn, so i decided to just glaze with a clear sparkle pen instead, its nice and sparkly and theres plenty of colour on the outside of the image instead.

Time taken, not including drying time, about 10 minutes.

Hope you like it!

Thank for popping in, please come back tomorrow for the first Mixed Media Monday.
