Crafty Secrets Color Challenge

Today, I stepped outside my comfort zone, and tried something new for this Adding Color Challenge. Plus, I used items I haven’t used in a long time.  As much as I love Copic Markers, I thought this would be the perfect project to use the Tombow Markers on.  After I colored in the water, I used the Mini Mister/water and lightly misted the image so the colors would blend for a softer look. Then I finished with the lady.

Be sure and check out the other Design Team Members (links below), and Crafty Secrets Blog.

1. Stamp image with Archival Ink, because it’s waterproof.
2. Color with TOMBOW Markers, mist with water and cut out.
3. Apply Glossy Accents over water area’s, sprinkle with glitter.
4. Take Glimmer Mist, and white cardstock to create background paper, I also use it on the cardboard, and Cheesecloth. Let dry.
5. Tare bottom corner of background cardstock into three pieces, and sew in place.  Curl the edges up, and tare just a little.
6. Rub Gold stamp pad over cardboard at corners.
7. Stamp Flourish in upper corner.
8. Arrange Cheesecloth on card front.
9. Attach background to cardboard with glue, let dry.
10. Add embellishments as shown, and assemble.

Thanks for visiting – Linda ;)

Beautiful. Just found your blog last week and it is at the top of my favorites to check every day. I have tried using cheesecloth on some cards, what do you use to attach it to allow it so rumpled?
