Hi everyone, we are starting a new theme at Try It On Tuesday - 'Oh So Sweet!' and you will find that the Design Team have pretty, cute and sweet food images to show to you... and inspire you to take part we hope.
I made a card for my Sister In Law, she broke her ankle the other week and had been in a cast for a while when they found that it had not set correctly so she has been in hospital for an operation to straighten it. She is now going to be even longer with her cast on! She's putting on a brave face but I know she wants to be active.
I used a stencil and a mask to ink two different colours then added some yellow over both then dabbed a wet tissue through some sequin waste. I stamped the cat - a Lindsay Mason wooden rubber mounted stamp and coloured it with watercolour pencils and a water brush. The sentiment (Crafty Individuals) was stamped then I used a pen to squiggle around it and then the whole card.I hope you will find something 'Oh So Sweet' to join us at Try It On Tuesday this time.
Thanks for looking, Chris
Lovely card Chris, great stencilling and doodling.
