hi there,
Here is my card for the WT challenge today. Linda asked us to determine if we are a 'tortoise or a hare' when creating our cards. Well for me, most of the time I have to be a hare since I have limited time while my little daycare kiddos are sleeping.
This card took me under 30 mins to make especially since I was drying the Bisters with a heat gun after spraying with water.
Linda asked us to share some hints if we had any. One tip would be to use Stazon ink when stamping over a painted surface. I find that I get a dark enough image that way. I find if I ink my stamp with Versamark ink first it is easier to clean off the Stazon ink.
The other tip I would give is not to over-think the whole thing. I used to do that all the time and it used to stress me out. Play and have fun!
Thanks for looking,

edited: I have had people telling me that they are finding the Bisters to be messy. I haven't had that really. I didn't poke a hole in the top of my little containers but instead I scoop out a tiny bit using a dry paint brush. You could do this all in a box and spray with water in the box to contain the mess but I haven't found it necessary to do that.

Karen this is gorgeous! You really achieved a big impact with this medium. I love that! I just want to touch this ever so lightly - I love the texture. And to think you created this card in under 30 minutes - girl, I'm impressed! (she winks)
