Distressed Sunday

The background was made by using the Distressed Fingerpainting technique from the Aug/Sept 2014 issue of Technique Junkies using Chipped Sapphire and Picket Fence distress paint.  I then stamped on the background stamp (Leaf and Floral Background) with Chipped Sapphire distress ink.  Since this was based on this weeks Sunday sketch I had to put something over it but I really liked it and didn't want to cover it up so I used vellum.  The flower is a Susan's Garden flower (mini daisy).

Stamps:  Hero Arts (Leaf and Floral Background), Stampin Up! (Voila!)
Colours:  Chipped Sapphire, Elegant Eggplant

Distressed Shooting Star

The blue background was made by using the Distressed Fingerpainting technique from the Aug/Sept 2014 issue of Technique Junkies using Chipped Sapphire and Broken China paint.  When it was dry I embossed it with an old embossing folder and ran a white craft pad over the top to accentuate the embossing.  The layout is based on this weeks sketch over at My Favorite Things.

Orange and Yellow in Distress!

It's a pretty simple card so you can focus on the background.  It was made by using the Distressed Fingerpainting technique from the Aug/Sept 2014 issue of Technique Junkies.  The colours used were Mustard Seed and Ripe Persimmon.  I also stamped a Hero Arts background stamp in Mustard Seed distress ink on top after it dried.

Stamp:  Hero Arts (Leaf And Floral Background)

Distressed Fingerpainting

The blue background is a technique called "Distressed Fingerpainting" from the Aug/Sept 2014 issue of Technique Junkies.  For that I used Broken China, Salty Ocean and Picket Fence.  The layout is this weeks Mojo Monday sketch.
