The Craft's Meow September Blog Hop

Hello friends!  Today the The Craft's Meow DT is having an "Anything Goes" themed blog hop.

I used the stamp set Chalkboard Birthday and incorporated the ghosting technique using Distress inks and water.

A white cardstock panel was sponged generously using Distress inks. Once I was satisfied with the coverage, I laid a stencil from Judikins and misted the panel with water. Simply set aside and the pattern will appear as it drives (you can speed this up with a heat gun). 

 

Below is step by step of "how-to" from a blog post I had on the TCM Blog yesterday.

First I sponged some Distress inks onto a white cardstock panel using distress inks and gathered a stencil and water spritzer.

Place the stencil on the inked cardstock panel and spray the panel with water.

Gently roll a paper towel roll over the stencil/panel to absorb the water.

Lift the stencil and finish the card as desired. I added one of the sentiments from Chalkboard Birthday

Here is The Craft's Meow stamp sets I used on my cards:

The Craft's Meow: Fancy Flourishes

Today is the fourth day of the previews for four new stamp sets soon to be available through The Craft's Meow on June 21.  All the designers' projects can be seen over on TCM's company blog along with their links for more details, so be sure to check them out.  Today we are featuring Nina Brackett's new set, Fancy Flourishes. This is also the Free Gift with $50 Purchase!

I stamped the flourish and sentiment using a Tsukineko Spectrum pad. The butterfly is a Studio Calico wood veneer which was colored  using a lime gelato.

 

I'll be back tomorrow with the The Craft's Meow DT for the June New Release Blog Hop!  This is such a great release - and had so much fun playing with all of the new sets! A stamp set will be given away to some
