Playing with messy stuff.


 Hello Everyone, I am a bit stressed right now with various things going on so 
I have decided after watching the lovely Julie Hickery's facebook live, that I would have
a play with some wow embossing powder, pixie powders , distress inks etc and make some
different kind of cards. I am normally a clean crafter but today I got inky.



 This first Picture shows you my desk before I started playing.


I cut a fancy rectangle out of Crafter Companions water colour card I find this the best 
water colour card. I then stamped my parrot twice once with black ink that I cut out to use as a mask.
The second time I stamped it onto the water colour card using the embossing ink pad so I could sprinkle Wow's Metallic gold rich fine powder on it. Then I was able to heat emboss my parrot.



 Once heat embossed I added my mask and started to spray water and pixie powders onto the card to make a rich vibrant colourful back ground.

Once the background was how I liked it I matted onto black card and added the word in black for a vibrant father's day card. I pulled colour from the card to colour the parrot and used sparkle pens to add a hint of sparkle.

The Hello card was mainly as above although towards the end of the back ground making I sprinkled some water on and shook my embossing powder onto the card to add further detail.


  I am happy enough for my first attemps but i can see so flaws I'd like to improve on next time around. 
I hope you like this idea and if you haven't tried it before feel inspired to play.

I am going to enter these into the following challenges.
