Well, I'm happy to say that I survived my final in Anatomy & Physiology and I've been working on a few things that I will be sharing with you this week.
Today's post is a card that I made for two challenges; the Gingersnap Creations Blue Moon Challenge - Take on a Tutorial and last week's Clean & Simple Challenge (a sketch) at Splitcoaststampers.
(Shells by Just for Fun, Sentiment by Oxford Impressions)
The Gingersnap Creations challenge was to use one of the many tutorials on their blog and I chose one of the modifications of the salted background, using rice, for my card.
I finally tried another new technique here; the shells were colored using pencils and baby oil, something I've been wanting to try for a long time. I was spurred on by the beautiful coloring on this card. Since I haven't jumped into the Copic craze yet, I thought I would see what kind of results I could get this way and I'm pretty happy with it considering that it was my first try and my limited supply of colored pencils. I will definitely be trying this again!
A couple of other details, I used kitchen string sponged with a little Ranger Tea Dye Distress Ink and the card itself is also watercolor paper.
Tomorrow I'll finally have a couple of those Round Robin pages I keep talking about. Until then...
