This would have been another QAS, quick and simple, card for me BUT......went to put some stampendous embossing ink boss gloss on my bg, it wouldn't come out of the dauber so I squeezed real hard and the top flew off spilling pretty much the whole bottle on my panel. Geeze, what a mess! So I had to start all over........details.....
I chose this for my inspiration today. I printed out a map from the internet for my bg. The second attempt, I used my versa mark pad instead, then used ultra thick embossing powder. Did this three times, then put it in the freezer.
While I was freezing my bg, I took a white cs panel, sponged and doodled the edges. Then I went over the black dots in my doodling with red paint using a stylus.
Also prepared my white card by sponging the edges with red pepper.
Took my almost frozen bg panel out of the freezer and bent it up to cause the eb to crack, thus cracked glass. Sponged over the cracks with tea dye. Stamped my birdies with Stazon black, added the red dots with acrylic paint.
Put this altogether and cleaned up my BIG mess! So, what do you think?...............TFL :0)
Hi Sis! Where's your card? lol
