JAI #592 - Just Choose Two

Hi there! I hope you're excited to see what the new challenge is all about over at Just Add Ink this week.


If you're a regular visitor here you'll know that texture and layers are right up my alley! But I didn't stop there for my offering - no, I went and included the third option as well. What can I say? Sometimes I'm an overachiever, lol. 



I've used texture paste through a stencil and some woodgrain patterned paper for my 'texture' and 'patterned paper' elements, with 'layers' of ink on the background and of card for the frame (chipboard and patterned paper). Using patterned paper such as the woodgrain I've used here is a great way of adding 'faux' texture to your work if you don't have texture pastes or embossing folders. 


Snarky cats are so irreverent and cheeky - I love how they make us laugh at ourselves, which is often just what we need to lighten our day.

Materials used:
  • stamps - Snarky Cats (Tim Holtz)
  • card - watercolour, chipboard, woodgrain patterned paper (Paper Rose), crumb cake (SU)
  • distress oxide inks/sprays - vintage photo, fossilized amber, spiced marmalade, salvaged patina, cracked pistachio
  • TH products - Decor frames Bigz die, splat box, distress texture paste (matte), bricked mini stencil, vintage photo archival ink
  • other - sponge daubers, Big Shot Switch, mounting tape, blending brush, Dimensionals, craft foam, spatula

We'd love you to choose two elements from our challenge and share your creation in our gallery. There's more samples to inspire you over at the JAI blog, so hightail it over there to see for yourself!

Thanks for dropping by.

Cheers
Kerry
