For this week's Inspiration Challenge, we went to Wind and Weather. What a cool site, so many different items! After looking around a bit, I decided to use this image: http://www.windandweather.com/bass-r...401_c9304.html
I have been wanting to try the telescoping technique since I saw it posted last week. Plus there have been some really cool cards using that technique too! I knew I had this digi, which I used once before. But I just am not sure of the origin.
I used the Spellbinders circle dies. I made five layers! I think that might be pushing it, because it was starting to get hard to line things up. Next time I four layers. I colored the images with copic markers and sponged the outer edges with the die still in place. I used just a little Shimmerz where the pink part is on the fish. It doesn't really show up that well in the photo. I used three dew drops and I don't know what to call the trimming on the right...do you think it is some kind of ribbon? LOL I saw it at HL and boutght it a while ago because I thought it looked cool.
I really enjoyed the Inspiration Site and it was fun trying this technique too! Thanks so much for stopping by to take a peek!
