There is no such thing as a card without a story. The story for this card goes like this. The Monday Greeting Challenge on Outlawz was
to create a card with circles. http://outlawzchallenges.ning.com/group/monday-greetings/forum/topics/gcc090715-outlawz-monday-greeting-card-challenge-circles
There is
a technique called Bokeh where you make colored circles on paper and then stamp
over them with white ink. I’ve been
wanting to try it and this seemed like the perfect time. I made a Bokeh background with Tim Holtz Distress Inks on wet water color paper . After the
first layer dried I took three sizes of round sponges and sponged on white
ink. I then colored my image to go with
the circles. After I had my image all
done I noticed another card with the same image and the girl had a shirt &
shorts on. When I looked at the image I
thought her outfit looked like a Tee shirt dress, so I colored it all one
color. Well…we all knew that wouldn’t
do. I got as much of the blue ink as I
could off the shorts part and colored them again with a peach color. Unfortunately you could still see the blue in
areas so I thought…no problem; I’ll put blue polka dots on the shorts. I’m not sure if you will be able to see them
on the picture but you can in real life.
Monday’s challenge has to have a greeting on it so I cut out “hello
friend” and glued it to the front. Then
I stepped WAY out of my box and put a black & white gingham bow &
ribbon on the card. Can you believe
it? Not a matching white or blue or even
green but black & white. Now that’s
a real stretch for me! And that’s my card story for the day. TFL
