SKETCH SATURDAY #24

Somehow i am still finding a little time to join in with a few of the sketch challenges that all the fabulous blogs are offering........i love sketches!! and Sketch Saturday have another for us this week, and a gorgeous stamp for the winner! The DT cards are very inspiring, as are the entries so far........a true feast for the eyes :)

For my design today i wanted to try something other than watercolouring.....this is a resist technique acheived by stamping your image onto glossy card with Versamark, and then dry off with a heat gun. When it's dry i add Distress ink with a cotton wool ball (you have to be really quick, otherwise you get streaky bits!) and then 'polish' with a clean ball to get the image to pop.

The image i've used is Penny Black 'Youthful' from the brush flower collection. Papers are HOTP, that i've had for aaaaages, along with some black Bazzill, Making Memories ribbon and some Kanban 'Bling'. Sentiment stamped with Brilliance Moonlight White.

I run my workshop this evening, so won't have much time to blog hop and look at all your gorgeous cards, but there's always tomorrow! ;-D

Thanks for your visit, see you soon :)
