Quick and Easy - sort of

     On the weekend it was so hot it was like a July day; today, its cold and rainy to the point where Joe asked me to turn the furnace back on to get the chill out of the house. Yup, typical Ontario weather!

    Today’s card is one from a large die that I seldom know how to use. I sometimes cut everything but the sentiment off but this time, I decided to use it as it cuts.

                             

    The paper behind the die cut is some water colour paper that I coloured with Distress Inks and water. I love that soft look you can get that way. I just smear some Distress ink on any smooth surface, spritz with water, dip and move the paper and lift. Tim Holtz’s rule is if you look at it, you must dry it before lifting more ink. And that is one rule I follow - most of the time! The die cut sentiment was adhered to it; then to white cardstock; then to the wine cardstock; and then to the black card base. Then the flowers that sort of matched the colours in the background were added. This was a quick and easy card to put together once all the pieces were ready to go.

    That’s all for a cool and rainy Wednesday, May 18, 2022

Cheers
