ANYHOW, while I was sleeping life went on (as my husband likes to remind me, lol) and I've got a super-fun challenge to tell you about - the Smeared and Smudged forum is hosting a Design Team Throwdown, and the Drunken Stampers are totally taking it on! Each team gets to enter 3 peeps each round, and being the drunken stampers we are we all threw our hats in to see what we could come up with - and what works better with drunken stamping than the 'artistically messy' theme of PAINT & SPLATTERS?!
And here's the part where it gets fun: starting Monday, we need your votes! It's easy & free to register at Smeared & Smudged, and you have until Friday the 15th to vote for your favourites :)
Here's my project:
Supplies: Distress Crackle Paints in frayed burlap, antique linen, and walnut stain; vintage photo distress ink; Mister Huey white mist; Dress it Up! heart button; stamps from Unity
And a close-up of the crackly effect:
I first sprayed the white mist after the crackle paint dried, but got more coverage than I wanted. I wiped it with a tissue which emphasized the crackling (unintended but awesome!) and then undid the mister & used the tube to drip the mist around instead. Ta-da!

Doesn't that just figure you would be icky on break! Especially when you need the energy the most. That is how I was over Christmas with a house full of guest and it carried on way past their departure. I had one of those days where I slept and slept. I NEVER do that.
ReplyDeleteYour card is awesome! I hope you have it to yourself! :-) It's so funny, and I love when you make a card with this set. Great background! The heart button just puts it over the top! :-)
Sensational!!!!!!!!! Love everything about this!
ReplyDeleteHope you start feeling better!
