Good morning...
Happy Monday, I hope everyone has recovered from yesterday's Mum's day excitement. I am up and at 'em early today as my youngest son Als, has his driving test later and I am definitely more nervous than he is.
Today's card is made with a lovely Tiddly Inks digital image - Bathing Beauty.
I am a total fan of Tiddly Inks. (In fact in general I love digi's because there are so many ways to work with them and storage is a doddle which means there is more room left in my cluttered craft space for lots of other goodies)!
Tiddly Inks digi's are so lovely to craft with.
I have such a soft spot for them and am quite overwhelmed that I have featured as a winner, and also in the Fabby Friday top three on Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog in my first month of blogging! I am very certain it is beginner's luck!
Anyway, back to Bathing Beauty. I have coloured her in with copics and then used card and papers from Graphic 45 'By The Sea' to mat and layer her up.
I then very lightly distressed the edge of the image with Tim Holtz Tea Dye Distress Ink. (I still find that a bit scary, it is quite a difficult technique for me but practice as they say makes perfect)
Finally, I have used twine, charms and cheesecloth from The Ribbon Girl, along with buttons, dots and pearls from my trinket box as embellishments.
And here we are - Bathing Beauty, I can hear the waves and smell the sea already!
