Splodgeaway sample 2 masks in 1 project

Good morning Lovelies! Well we've had some beautiful autumn weather over the last few days, cold but bright and sunny, such a tonic after all that wind and rain!

Here is my sample for the 2 in 1 week for Splodgeaway I started by using Picket Fense Distress paint through the "8x8 Card King Mask" I dried it and then inked over with Distress inks, once dry I lightly buffed to bring out the paint more, I then splashed some water over and dried just to create a bit more texture, then taking my "Lattice mask" I spritzed the mask with water, laid it onto my tag and carefully lifted and blotted to created a shadowy sort of effect, the stamps are from "Indigoblu" Big Ben is from "Portabello rd" set, once dry I lightly inked around the edges using Black Soot DI on my fab Splodgeaway mat.

Zoe - Autumn project for Splodgeaway

Happy weekend Lovelies, I hope your all getting crafty over the weekend, what more can you do when it's raining?

This week it's "Autumn" week at Splodgeaway if you've not tried Splodgeaway products you are certainly missing out, Toms designs are innovative and original and the quality are fab, of course the Splodge mat in my opinion is the best on the market for blending your dye based inks! You can purchase them here!

So onto my make, "surprise" it's a card lol!

 

I used the Leaf mask with Metallic Distress paint, I dabbed it with my blending tool through the mask, I heat dried, then using my Splodgemat I blended distress inks in autumnal colours over the paint, once dry I splashed some water and dabbed dry to create a more shabby effect, I buffed the card once dried to remove any ink from the leaf design, the Die cuts and stamps are all Tim Holtz! I cut them using Grunge paper and coloured using DI on my Splodgemat, I mat and layered onto craft card which I inked the edges then mounted onto a craft card blank!

Thank you for visiting today, have a great weekend xx

Zoe - Challenge # 18 "Anything Goes"

Good Morning Lovelies! I hope your all well? I'm making this a brief post today! As most of you know my little one is moving on to adoption on the 28th October, it's a tough time for us, I've scheduled all my posts, to save me forgetting

Our Theme this fortnight as you can see is "Anything Goes" and as we are an "Anything Goes" challenge blog that means you really an make anything you like! Our lovely blog owner Sandie is sponsoring this challenge, and she's offering a fab prize!

You can join in here!, we have an amazingly talented Design Team and you can check out their samples there too!

I made my tag, first by blending various autumn shades in distress inks, then stamping in black Archival ink using TH mini Blueprint leaf stamps and a Justrite Harlequin background stamp, I then die cut all my leaves which are from a Spellbinders set, I used text printed paper and plain paper just to add some texture, I inked through the die and also after, to give overall colour, I dipped a few bits into my melt pot with clear UTEE just to add some more texture, I'm very pleased with the result, I do love Autumnal colours, so rich!

Many thanks to you for visiting my blog today, have a great day xx
