Under the Sea

Happy Thursday Junkies! Pam here today to share with you a project from the sea!

I was working on a background technique I learned in Tim Holtz's Creative Chemistry 103- Distress Spritzed Watercolor and once I finished I thought that the Seahorse stamp would be a perfect complement to the background. 

After stamping the Seahorse in archival black ink- I watercolored with Distress Markers.

I love how the Seahorse just blends perfectly into the background. I was planning on adding a sentiment as well- but I really love the simplicity of this card front as is.

Thanks for joining me today and be sure to come back often!

Ann here with more distress!

A couple of weeks ago I shared a card made for an upcoming class I'm teaching on Distress pads, refills, and stains.  Here is the second card that they will be making in their class. 

It uses Distress Ink Watercoloring as well as Distress Spritzing.  I LOVE that Distress spritzing technique.  So easy with a great look!

Hero Arts stamp was color with the refills and glittered for some extra punch.  The MS butterfly just has three dabs of gold glitter down the middle.  The ribbon is quite gold and got really faded out on the picture.  I was at the store dropping off the samples when I realized that I hadn't taken pictures of the cards.  Phone cameras aren't that good! 

Ann here with a cute Snowman card

Ann Clack here today.  Okay....Thanksgiving is over so we can now look forward to Christmas!  Here is a darling Snowman card I'll be teaching to a class.  The snowman is colored using the TJ technique called Distress Ink Watercoloring.  Really easy with great results.  The background of the card is made using the TJ technique called Distressed Spritzing.  I used a stencil from The Crafter's Workshop.  The snowflake is a punch from EK Success.  Hope you enjoy!
