Mosaic Thank you



 

Happy Sunday and thanks for taking the time to visit the Charmed Life Blog. Kind of a laid back day for me. After church we had lunch and then I had some free time. Imagine that (lol)!!

 

I decided to try a card technique that I saw demonstrated at a rubber stamp show a few weeks ago. You use glossy paper, reinkers, alcohol and some felt. The colors I used would create sky, water and sand. I wanted to create a beach scene.

 

I sort of liked how it turned out, but I need to practice some more. I ran out of time before we went out this evening. I also need a little darker color for my sky and possibly a little lighter color for the water.

 

Now onto my card for today. This one I made for 2 challenges and they are both inspiration challenges. One is the Saturday inspiration challenge #402 on Splitcoaststampers.

Stef sent us to the  Winter Water Factory for our inspiration. Lots of inspiration and as soon as I saw this Tennessee Tote in navy, it reminded me of the new Stampin-Up mosaic punch and embossing folder.

And the other is the Moxie Fab World Tuesday Trigger, "I'm Craving Navy" inspiration. Love it that my card works for both inspiration challenges. I picked up on the navy theme for both challenges.

 

I used night of navy for my color scheme. The background embossing is done with the Stampin-Up "mosaic madness" embossing folder. I punched my shapes from Stampin-Up night of navy designer paper.

Punched a few flowers and added some pearls randomly. To complete my card, I die cut a pennant and used an old Stampin-Up rub-on for my sentiment that I found in my stash.

Well that's it for me for today. So until next time......... God bless.
