More Creative Chemistry 101 Marbling with Stains

More marbling with stains from Creative Chemistry 101.  The colours I used on this tag are Mustard Seed, Rusty Hinge and Fired Brick.  When dry I ran it through an embossing folder and sponged the edge in black.  I also ran a bronze ink pad over the embossing to highlight the raised part.

More playing along with Creative Chemistry 101.  This is the marbling with stains technique from Day 5.  The colours used are Blueprint Sketch and Wilted Violet.  Once it was dry I ran it through an embossing folder and then sponged all around (and on top) with Wilted Violet.  The dove was also sponged with Wilted Violet.

Mother's Day Mojo

This is my card for Mother's Day. My mom was born in November so the poppy is her flower. The sketch is based on this weeks Mojo Monday #446.

Michael Strong Card of the Day - Friday

So one more card before my little pony goes galloping off into the sunset.

The colours here are Twisted Citron and Mermaid Lagoon.  I masked off a section of watercolour paper and used a paintbrush to brush on some Twisted Citron on the left and some Mermaid Lagoon on the right.  They blended a bit in the middle.  Here I used watered down re-inkers so the colour was a bit more vibrant.  The pony is embossed in black.  The paper is Island Indigo.  It's a pretty simple card 'cause sometimes you just have time for those.

Michael Strong Card of the Day - Technique Thursday

I used the Ombré technique on this card.  I actually just made it up so it's not really a technique.  Ombré basically means to move from one colour hue to another gradually.

To create the card I took some Summer Sun (very old Stampin Up! colour) re-inker and blended it with some Tangerine Tango re-inker.  At the top of the card I painted on just the yellow ink and then gradually added more and more orange until the bottom, which is all orange.  Quick and easy.

The pony was then embossed in black.
