The challenge at Little Tangles is to create your own pattern paper.
I used the chevron strip stamp with Salty Ocean, Ripe Persimmon and Evergreen Bough Distress Inks. I inked my craft sheet then spritzed with water, and then stamped rows of the chevron strip, reversing each row. Because the ink had pooled more in some places than others, it loaded unevenly onto the stamp and blotched onto the card, but I really like the effect. I like looking at that grungy pattern. I'm happy with grunge.
The challenge at CAS-ual Fridays is to use sequins and chevrons.
And the challenge at Simon Says Wednesday Challenge is to use a rubber or clear stamp.
Neat & Tangled: On The Strip, Everyday Circles, Fresh Blooms, sequins.
ETA: At Jenny's suggestion, I'm also entering it into Moxie Fab World Tuesday Trigger.

ReplyDeleteThis jumped out of the CFC gallery at me (when I was just over to check out the deadline - alas I've missed it again). I have that N&T stamp. I'm going to do that, too! Your color choices are spot on.
ReplyDeleteOh this is fun, might try this with a HA background stamp I have, love the watercolor feel.
ReplyDeleteShirley, this is such a wonderful card!! Love that you played around with your inks and water ... such a great result!! Still chevrons, but not the neat and tidy chevrons. LOVE. Thanks for joining the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge!
