GUEST DESIGNER AT DIGITAL TWO FOR TUESDAY

I was recently offered an opportunity to do a Guest designer spot at Digital Two for Tuesday a wonderful vintage blog that offers lots of free and gorgeous images. Cora Harkin is the owner and you should really stop by for a visit. I know that you will find at least a few images that you can't resist.

 My technique this week is DISTRESS RESIST. In my search to find out how to do this. There are several different styles. First I used versmark to stamp my tree branches/leaves and covered that area with clear embossing powder, then used the heat gun to emboss it. After that was done I used Tim Holtz distress inks wild honey and faded jeans with a sponge applicator to cover the embossed areas. Using a piece of paper towel I wiped off the excess ink and the emblossing comes through beautifully.


I colored this beautiful bird with my copics E31, G24, R22, Y13, Y11, Y17. the background stamp is from Studio G. the sentiment is from the $1 bin at Michaels and the card stock is from my scrap file. I used a Martha Stewart corner punch that I recently purchased and used the faded jeans ink around the edges of the image. I really like how this card turned out and can't wait to send it to a friend who lives out of town.

  13. Lovely cheerful card, love the colours, embossing etc!
    Thank you for popping in, your idea of a step shelve sounds a good one, anotherblogger has said to stick coloured dots on the ends of the promarkers so I can see the colour so maybe the two ideas together will work!!
