Hello everyone! Thank you all for your sweet comments on yesterday's countdown card. I'm still struggling with the creative mojo - which lately seems to be aggravating in the way that I am starting to get some ideas but then trying to translate them onto paper just isn't turning out how I was seeing it in my head LOL!
But first make sure you check out MFT's blog post with all of today's info and links as it is DEFINITELY worth clicking over there!
OK - today's card is another one made in the middle of chaos LOL! I guess when I tell the kids "Hey I need some peace and quiet for the next little bit so I can make a card" they hear "Lets all hang out and go crazy in the studio while mommy plays with paper!". Basically the same reaction to when you're on the phone or in the bathroom..... (all the mom's out there "get" it - the rest of you will just have to imagine the craziness *wink*).
Anywho - it's definitely not a bad thing as I love having them around, it just makes the creative process a lot longer, messier, and somewhat more confusing as I'm multitasking to the extreme!
This was what I came up with for today's card:
I heat embossed the Eiffel Tower image from the new Birdie Brown Mon Chéri stamp set with white embossing powder onto watercolour paper.
I then pressed four of MFT's dye ink pads onto a rectangle acrylic block, sprayed it with water and flipped it over and pressed it over the image. So the heat embossed image resisted the color and the surrounding watercolour paper absorbed the ink.
Once it was dry I trimmed it down and adhered it to a white notecard (just slightly smaller than a 4-bar size - I go in phases with this size - don't use it for the longest time then make a card in that size and am obsessed with it all over again LOL!) with a bunch of foam tape.
I finished off the card with a heat embossed sentiment from the same set and a couple white enamel dots and called it a day. As I was making this card though the ideas started rolling and I could have made so many more with just this Eiffel Tower image (there's just something about it isn't there? I've never been to Paris but it's on my bucket list...) - but as usual time was limited!
