This card is for the Alpha challenge K = Kangaroo and Koala and Kkkkk....Cockatoo. It is also for the Try a new technique challenge.
I like trying new techniques and when I saw this weekâs I knew I had to give it a go. Out came the gladwrap....otherwise know as sandwich wrap.....crinkled it up and dabbed ink on it and simply plonked it on my CS as though it were a stamp. It gives a cool look.
I had previously made another panel using different colours and using this technique, however with this panel I decided to give Jeanâs alternative technique a go and plonked my ink on my mat, sprinkled water and then dabbed my CS. The yellow is the effect. When I went to get my second colour, Iâd forgotten about the mat bit and had reverted to my other method going straight from the ink to the gladwrap. This method gives more texture but I like both results.
As I had to make a card for the Alpha challenge and had decided on my Aussie die cut, I went with the yellow and blue panel. I trimmed it down slightly and ended up with some scraps, one of which was added to the bottom of the panel.
Wink of Stella added on the die cut after heat embossing the sentiment.
TFL. Happy day

You achieved a terrific result using the cling wrap technique, Jayne, and this great Aussie die looks fabulous with it! I have this, and a few other Dies from this company~

Great background Jayne. Must try this out again. Strange weather here today. Fog lifted at lunchtime and came down again around 3.30pm. Not god for the aches and pains.
