For Jean's TLC today: TLC985 4 for 1 Background Magic 01/08/2024 by jkanack at Splitcoaststampers
I had only fun on my day off last week, because I knew what Jean was planning. I made two sheets using similar colours - I've attached a photo in the challenge thread. The darker looking one was Lavina Elements brayered - which is not my forte, so I then tried brushing distress inks onto another sheet. In the end I'm not sure which I prefer. The distress one was fired brick, salty ocean and salvaged patina. Then I used a turquoise shimmer mist from Colourcraft (makers of Brusho). I stamped a flourish CAC stamp from Impression Obsession in the centre of each piece, with a dark blue ink. (I didn't cut mine up as shown in the video).
I had more luck with stippling white paint through my stencils than I did with white ink, so there's a bit of both. I stamped a Penny Black floral in Delicata gold, and then did some more stencilling with gold paint, Inka Gold and a silver paste from Cosmic Shimmer. The distress sheet has some more stencilling with a texture medium sprinkled with turquoise glitter. On the other sheet I used TH crackle paste, and then some more texture paste with a deep red glitter. After taking the photos I added an HA script stamp because script always makes backgrounds better ;-).
Due to a family funeral and then a day spent at my aunt's house I was only able to get one card made, as shown here, using the distress sheet. I needed a low-key birthday card and I think this fits the bill. I cut the sentiment (Penny Black) and the stars (SU and MFT) from gold Sizzix Texture sheet, and edged the panel with a gold Posca pen.
