Make The Cards Challenge #53

  

Welcome Back Friends!

It's time for a new challenge over on the  Make The Cards Challenge Blog.
Today we have a Technique challenge for you . . .

 

 I LOVE creating ink blended background panels, so this card was a lot of fun to create.  I simply cut my card stock panel to the size I needed then started sponging various colors of Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks using large sponge daubers.  

I had an idea of how I wanted to put a bolder sentiment on the front, so was sure to keep the inside area a little lighter than the outside area.  Once I was happy with my colors, I spritzed the entire panel with water then blotted them off to create the white spots (I love doing that ... I think it looks so cool! lol).

Here's a peek at the inside . . .

For the sentiment on the card front, I have used a stamp set by Honey Bee called 'Sending You Sentiment'  (retiring soon!)

 

  and for the inside of the card I used a combination of the Birthday from a Simon Says Stamp set called 'Thoughtful Messages' and the Wishes comes from that same Honey Bee set.

 Another peek at today's card . . .

 

I hope you'll come join in our challenge fun ... here's the link for you one more time ...
