Crafty Sentiments Challenge – Not a Card!

Hello! How are things?

I’m here again with my final GDT post for the CRAFTY SENTIMENTS CHALLENGE BLOG and I would like to thank both Suzette and Celine for inviting me to be part of the team.  I have had a wonderful time working with these adorable images.

So onto our theme this week and it is Not a Card!  We have a fabulous prize on offer for the winner so check out THE BLOG for all the details.

Oh how I do love mermaids and this lovely lady, ISOBEL – PRETTY BUBBLES, is no exception, isn’t she gorgeous! 

So I admit to making the easiest ‘Not a Card’ thing I could think of which was a tag then making it more complicated by creating the background myself.  It’s not like I don’t have enough patterned paper for goodness sake!! 

First I cut a tag from watercolour card then splodged various inks onto it and once dried embossed and sanded it back.  I loved the result and shall be doing it again…an afternoon of looking at green/blue fingers hasn’t even put me off.

Ingredients:

Rubber Stamped Image: ISOBEL – PRETTY BUBBLES
