Tick Tock

Time for another CTS!

This week the sketch ought to look

like this:

My creation follows it....

somewhat?

I love this verse by

Ray Ritchie Designs!

I used a doily from my stash

and a clockface atop

a diecut by SB

"Sprightly Sprockets"

Distress ink 

"Stormy Sky" was sponged

over the doily.

Plain maybe, but I like it that way.

I hope you do also.

Thanks for stopping by.

Metallic Spritz Technique

Metallic Spritz Technique

Supplies:

Glossy white cardstock
several coordinating colors of dye reinkers
spray bottle of water
sponges (I used those make-up ones)
Marvy Metallic pen
iron
paper towels
newspaper or similar to protect table

Directions:

1)  Spritz glossy with water

2)  drop 2 to 3 colors of reinkers onto sponge

3)  Dab sponge on glossy cardstock (leaving some uninked areas for contrast)

4)  Dab marker pen here and there for accent

5)  Quickly rinse under faucet to "move" colors

6)  laying glossy ink side up, place paper towels over to protect your iron and iron till dry

7)  Mat, overstamp or punch etc.

*My sample uses stamp by Ray Ritchie Design, LLC   I kept it very simple so you can see the background.
Leaving some white areas tends to give your results more depth.....
This tends to be a little messy, but well-worth the effects so do several while you're at it!

Faux Corners Technique

Today's card is an example of the Faux Corner Technique.

I stamped the floral images (by Firecracker Designs) without reinking and 

the sentiment (by Ray Ritchie Designs) in slate blue dye ink

and edged my panel with the same ink.

 I cut 2 papers into triangles, again and again until I had the size I wanted.

Then  I cut the triangles to the width I wanted and butted them up against each

other to make the corners.  I added some dew drops for embellishments

and a ribbon for oomph!

Ray Ritchie Designs

I did this card some time ago and now that I want to share with you would you believe I cannot find that stamp so I can give credit where it is due?

I know the verse stamp is by Ray Ritchie Designs.

Can anyone tell me who has the face image please?

I basically sponged color all over, stamped the image and then threw clear EP over it all

before matting and layering.

The yellow star is just a sticker.
