 | | Our teaparty this week is for "Aunt Betty", introduced to us by fellow teapotter Greenie aka irishgreensue and hosted by Pat aka casep
This started out as a 5 x 7 card. I had weirdo arty embossing in the top left corner and a bunch of farm yard chickens wearing boots were all cut and coloured ready to be stuck on. Then I said to myself, "self, do you really think that is suitable for a 90 year old lady who appreciates scripture". I left the clear embossing in the bottom corner. Betty likes lots of details, also if I cut that off too, she would be receiving an ATC!
Plan B was quickly put into action, I cut off the weirdo arty corner and converted the coloured panel to fit a 5" square card.
I made the scene using the smack and squirt technique, ironing spray and blending sponges. Smack distress ink onto aluminium foil, squirt on some ironing spray and then mop up the puddle with foam blending tool and scrub onto card.
I lightly sprayed the entire panel with a final mist of ironing spray. The big blobs are a result of not shaking the spray can enough, but I quite like the look so I left it. Had I wanted to make the background more uniform, it would just be a matter of sponging on more colour.
Once the panel was nice and dry, I stamped on a little leafy stamp (to resemble trees in the distance) then I stamped the big tree and lots of dots. I doodled a white fence and faux stitched border.
After I mounted the panel to the card base I added a gazillion liquid pearls and stamped on the sentiment using MISTI. Thank you for looking, I hope you have a happy inky week. |
