Just popping along to share with you a card I've made for OLW using Emilie's colour combination for this week .
I used Adirondack ink pads and water brush to add colour to the minis and then used Tim Holtz bitty grunge stamps around edge of card .
I managed to get in a total inky mess and you don't want to see the back of the card.....I kept forgetting about the ink on my wipeable craft mat !!!
Haven't added a sentiment yet because I couldn't decide what to use .
As I type this my 15 yr old lad is on his way home from school in his taxi getting very excited about seeing our new washing machine we had delivered today ! Anyone would think it was Christmas day in our house this morning he was that excited......that's Autism for you , who needs toys , and I bet he'll know how to use it quicker than I do !
Thanks for looking X
Hi Jenny, your card is wonderful, love the thinking behind it! Colours are perfect and I like very much the grungy feel you've got going on, all in all it's great! Anyway who gets to see the back of the card? :0) xxx
ReplyDeletep.s I can share your son's excitement I love new washing machines, dunno, but I guess it's because usually the old one's broken and I've had to make do without one for a while, not quite the same reason as your son, I know but valid all the same!:0) xxx
This is a fabulous card! Ijust love all those cars!
ReplyDeleteAnd the grid is a great background!
Wonderful job on the challenge and thanks for playing along with OLW47!
Jenny, Your card is awesome! Very artsey. Enjoy your new washing machine.
ReplyDeleteHi Jenny! What a wonderful card you've made! I love the grid stamp...and you kept the grid going with the cards! I just love it!!
ReplyDeleteWow you clever thing the card is fantasic i looked at the challenge and couldnt get my head round it har har seeing yours you have made it look so simple and re the back of the card being messy i would stamp the grid stamp all over it and make it part of the card well grungy !!!! and how good to have your son to work out how to use the new washing machine i hate to read instructions take care Luv Sue x
ReplyDeleteThat's a very funky, retro card - love it!
ReplyDeleteHope James enjoys the washing machine!
Beautiful card, love those minis and fab masking. The washing machine made me smile (and can't be that unusual) as when we had an advisor into school from county she spoke about a child that knew everyone by the make and model of their washing machine :) Hope he enjoys it.
ReplyDeletea masterpiece xx
ReplyDeleteWow....what an amazing card!! How creative you were to use a small image and do soooo much with it....love the bg, too....all very nice!!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a clever way to use those stamps! I love it! very modern yet a touch vintage/ grunge, simply fab!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful card. I love all the pieces you've put together on one layer. You've been doing a lot with homemade stencils and the results have been wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI've never used Tim Holtz products but I've been seeing them around on lots of blogs, especially the distress inks, which I think I must try. I love the effect you created with the grunge stamps around the edge.
This is just fantastic! Love the graphic feeling you've achieved and the slightly Warhol effect too! Great colour - my teenage son would love this card.
