On the first card I created texture using Mini Layering Stencil Set 26 and Distress Grit Paste and coloured the card with Distress Crayons. I stamped the fish with Black Archival and the spirals from "Scribbles and Spirals" with Fern GreenArchival. I stamped the crab on to Distress Watercolor Card and coloured with Distress Inks.
and as a complete contrast...I used Distress Oxide inks for the second card involving much layering of colour/water spritzing and drying between the layers...finishing with a light spritz of Distress Brushed Pewter Mica Spray for good measure...
and it did a great job...one happy octupus and one happy me with all tentacles and fingers intact...it's very comfortable to hold and I love that it has it's own case for storage and can be safely kept out of the way of little fingers.
It's been a week of contrasts so far...on Monday I was pottering around in the garden with Tim and Dyan...yesterday I was deep sea diving with the creatures of the ocean...today I'm donning my welly boots and heading down "On The Farm".
Have fun whatever you have planned
Toodle-oo for now
