Silhouette

Hi!

It's my turn to host the challenge at Addicted to Clean and Simple.

I chose the code word "SILHOUETTE"

Here's the card I made:

I started  out by playing with watercolors on Canson watercolor paper.

I used Distress Ink (mermaid lagoon) and stamped it onto an acrylic block

then used a water brush to make a puddle . 

Then I just made pretty blue messes on a couple of 

pieces of paper!

I liked this blue splotch the best ...so then I stamped ( after it dried)

  images from Inkadinkado( meadow) and sentiments from

Stampin' Up (Hello Life).

Here's the other tries...I'll save them, ya never know! lol

 I hope this inspires you to get messy with silhouettes!

'till next time.

Hi!

It's time for another sketch challenge 

from From The Heart Stamps

 

 

You can get this cute birdbrain image HERE.

 

I switched the design to the left side because it worked better with the image I chose.

Colored it with copics and added a die cut sun (from W plus 9).

Thanks for looking.

'till next time,

Doni

Tardis

Hi! 

The card I made today was inspired by a card made by Taheerah.

I loved her background but she didn't say how she made it so I had to wing it!

This card is going to a die hard Dr. Who fan!

 

 

so , to get the swirl effect I cut my own stencil: 

 

I didn't have plastic, so I drew the swirls on white cardstock 

and the covered the whole thing with scotch tape before I cut parts

of it out with my exato knife.

Then I started with light lavender paper and added distress inks:

                                   I sprinkled some water on it and cut the panel to card size

To make the Tardis  I used the phone booth stamp from the Newton's Nook stamp

called Newton Dreams of London.

Finishing touches were to add some custom white pen work to the phone booth and 

then some purple and blue glitter because everything looks better with glitter!

Hope you have a great weekend!

'till next time,

Doni

Here's a closer look:

Now you can see the glitter on the waves a little better... I have a huge container of all kinds of glittery stuff in my stash. I thought the white Doodlebug Sugarcoating
looked good on the wave foam.

 Also from my stash I used this blue watercolor background:

 
I spent one whole afternoon just playing with my paints making a total mess,
but I now have lots of samples in my stash to choose from.

I cut the front panel of my card from this big sheet because it reminded me of the ocean.
