Blues!!!

Hey sweet friends! sorry about the absence this week, life here is one whirlwind with the lead up to Easter festivities, work and home life crazy...but now I am on a 4 day break and cannot wait to relax and share time with my family and squeezing in some crafty time too.

Lots still to do before tomorrow, but I just wanted to pop in and share a quick card that I made yesterday in literally 10mins before I left for work.

I wanted to create something with the Memento Markers from Hero Arts, these little beauties have been starring down at me pleading to be used, so hence I broke them out and went to town with the Hero Hues, Sea coloured markers.



Taking the Happy Definition stamp from Hero Arts and the Memento Markers, colouring sections at a time with each colour until I covered the entire stamp, spritzing with water to loosen the ink and stamping directly onto white card stock, trimming around the stamped background and adding light touches of blending to the edge using Stormy Sky, Tumbled Glass and Broken China distress ink. Taking more white card stock and cutting a circle out, stamping one of the bicycles from the Bicycles stamp set from Hero Arts, adding distress ink, Black Soot to the edges of the circle and adhering to the background stamped card stock, trimming excess off from one side of the circle, adding a black dot line around the edge of the circle. Using more white card stock, trimming to form a tag and stamping a sentiment from the Find Joy stamp set from Hero Arts, adhering to the background stamped image also. Finally, adhering some buttons and attaching this to a trimmed white card.

I love these markers and I am looking forward to having more time to play with them, but for now, this is a super quick card to share with you how easy it is to create a different background effect.

Alrighty, it is time to venture off and get a few more things done before this little chicken needs to lay the head down.

If I don't catch up with you all tomorrow have a wonderful Good Friday!

Hugs
