i made a card; i don't really "do" layouts, as such, though i loooooove seeing other people's...and the ST team's are particularly cool for this sketch!
(glossy white cardstock: ranger; matte white cardstock & ink jet transparency: staples; patterned circles created digitally using anna aspnes' floral art brushes (designer digitals) layered on top of roben-marie smith's bennet's hammock paper (digichick); spray inks: glimmer mist, smoosh spritz & diluted grumbacher watercolor paint; florals: heidi swapp, prima, making memories, michaels; sequins: queen&co; rub-ons: making memories; inks: colorbox; adhesives: tombow mono runner, vellum gluedots, 3m foam tape; other: dymo labels, sewing machine, chinese text paper)
you can see i've used the results of one of my spray ink experiments as a background; i love how it turned out, it's actually a mixture of spray inks and sprayed water color, with judicious dripping, blotting, and blending of both! i've used some transparencies i printed out from various digi-brush experiements, as well; one is layered over chinese text paper, the other combined with a heidi swapp ghost clock. as for the rest, i've layered loads of different silk & paper florals, some fun sequins & gems, and the cool "typewriter key" exclamation point from a pack of decorative paperclips leah & i snapped up in staples' clearance aisle. fun, fun, fun!
*is "circley" a word? hmmmm... possibly not, but go with me, ok?! (it's definitely better than "zen-ish" anyway!)
Ooooh... That's sooo pretty!
ReplyDeleteHmmm...circley and zen-ish are in my dictionary:) LOVELY card...you are rockin' those spray inks!

Dang my computer printer!!! I want to play doing this now too. I wish I could see it closer up. Put it in your flickr too if you can so I can see more of the detail. Pretty please. That one and if you can find that very cool Cinderella fairy tale themed pink card you did a long time ago for DT at caardvarks put it in your flickr too so I can see it close up.
