I stamped the music notes randomly on a cardstock panel in Memento Paris Dusk before sponging with distress inks. The water droplets I flicked on the panel reacted much more with the distress inks (as I'd expected/hoped). I punched three squares from the panel once it was dry, matted them, then added a sentiment from Bevy of Butterflies. I think I still had yesterday's Crafty Creations challenge, Singing in the Rain, in mind as I made this!
Just in case you missed the news, commenting on this or any of my posts for Unity this week puts you in the running to win two itty bitty stamps of your choice! (I have my eye on the some of the new Wit and Wisdom ones, myself.) Hope you'll come back tomorrow as I wrap up my Growing in Unity week!

I like how you made the design on the note panels. Very cool background with the water drops and distressing. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful CAS card! Love how the distress ink and water created a unique background! TFS God bless!!
ReplyDeleteGreat CAS design, Lindsey. Thanks for sharing your technique for the panels. Will give that a try!
ReplyDeletePretty! Love the effect of the water drops on the sponged Distress inks and the color of your card. The Paris Dusk ink is a great shade... I have it and have never used it. Better break that puppy out!

ReplyDeleteI love that you made decorative squares with that stamp. I am always looking for more than one way to use a stamp and make my own embellishments!

ReplyDeleteI like the blotchy look. It is interesting and different.
ReplyDeleteI always get anxious using water around paper (shocking, lol) but I LOVE how it looks! (Mists react to water too, in case you feel like playing again). That sentiment is really lovely, and I'm SUPER impressed (hahaha) that you managed to make that itty bitty stamp a super star!
ReplyDeleteOh how lovely, it looks like patterned paper. Ps - skip me for the drawing, your pretty creations are my prize.
