For my card today I wanted to keep it fairly simple, to keep all the focus on this sweet girl. To start I printed off my image and cut it out using my Brother Scan N Cut. The Scan N Cut is a life saver if you are not a fan of fussy cutting, which I am not. I then set her aside and did a bit of ink blending. I grabbed a light shade of distress oxide ink, a blending brush and a piece of mixed media paper and started to lightly blend from the bottom right corner and upwards, concentrating more towards the bottom and fading up but not going right to the edges.
I then sprayed the inked paper with some water using my Distress Sprayer. It adds a kind of sporadic water droplets.....some big, some small and kind of random and it lifts the ink where the water fell leaving spots of white. It is kind of hard to see in my photos, as the ink is a bit light but they are there.
I hope you have enjoyed my card for today. This is such a sweet image and I really enjoyed working with her. If you haven't already, head on over to Sabrina's Etsy shop and grab yourself one of the beautiful image and start creating something magical! She has some really cute ones to pick from!
I thank you very much for stopping by today and I hope you have a wonderful day, Michelle 💗
