Happy Monday everyone. Here is my card for today's technique challenge - Acrylic Distress and I am also putting it into the fan club gallery - Best Buds.
I had coloured this image a long, long time ago. All the white parts of the Hedgehog image were bleached. I coloured the rest fo the image with Stampin Up and Tombow markers. Sentiment is from Fiskars - Just between friends set. Added stickles to the bee wings and flower centers.
For the distressed acrylic panel - I started with Bristol Vellum card stock. Ran it through the cuttlebug using a Sizzix Letterpress plate - Elegant Loops. Painted it with Buttermilk acrylic paint. Let it dry. Then I made a mistake - I ran my Walnut Stain Distress ink of the painted panel --- I forgot to Sand the painted panel first :(
Next I sanded the panel - and ran the ink over top again. Wiped off the ink - it didn't look right so I ran the ink pad overtop again. I used a white gel pen on the distressed panel in some of the smaller loops to brighten it up a bit.
Thanks Holly and Beate - I will use this technique again.
Thanks for looking,
Hugs..pat
