It's the last 2 days for Barb's second
Barbles Challenge, and I'm down to my last few cards to share (well, for this challenge anyway...I'm not sure I'll ever run out of un-blogged cards.)

Supplies: bird stamp from Inkadinkado;
Versamark, Palette Noir ink, black EP;
Colorbox Frost White pigment ink;
sentiment rub-on from Kaisercraft |
I think it's fairly obvious how I was inspired by the Bird on a Wire photo - to me, the photo has a feeling of loneliness, and when I'm alone I'm generally thinking of someone else, so... I used a crumpled tissue to sponge on patches of the white ink, and another tissue to blend them in a bit - this had a neat side effect of emphasizing the texture of the cardstock. Unintended but nice bonus! The wire was drawn with a fine-tip Sharpie, and the black borders were done with a regular Sharpie.
There was a run on thank-you cards this weekend at the market - silly me, focusing on Valentines, and now I'm down to 4 thank yous.... I know what I'm working on today!

You made that effect with a tissue? It's so cool! And definitely looks especially awesome on the textured paper. And it's definitely a perfect "Thinking of you" image.
ReplyDeleteYou never know what people are going to want to buy. Oh wait, yes I do - always whatever I don't have!
That background completely matches that bird and the sentiment! Love the moodiness:)
ReplyDeleteSlam dunk, Jessi! You certainly nailed this one!! Now you've got me thinking about a card idea for this photo, but, darn it, I'm not sure I'm going to have time. LOVE tissue tip!!
