Jul 16
Well, I haven’t learnt from last night, and I’m having another late night crafting. That, plus a very challenging day, add up to a very tired Chupa. However, with CASE Study coming tomorrow, I really want to blog this little number before it gets too crowded here 
Let’s get cracking!
I rarely ever play with Make It Mondays, but this week’s challenge is yummy-licious and I wanted to give this technique a go anyway. Gotta love the watercolour look! Actually, as much as spritzing the inked stamp with water is a common enough technique, applying paints with an aqua pen was something new to me that immediately clicked. Why haven’t I thought of this before?? It’s SO convenient it’s ridiculous, lol.
I used light green paint on the broad leaves from Turning A New Leaf, and dark green on the fine leaves & the ferns from Harvest Berries. Then I inked up the latter with Simply Chartreuse which I over-stamped the images with, for a nice contrasting, two-tone look. For the broad leaves, I used Classic Kraft ink for my second step, and only swiped the ink along the edges.
Then I added the sentiment panel and the fun polka dot butterfly. I really dug out some oldies for this challenge, didn’t I??

This technique on the leaves absolutely showcases your talent. Almost hate to cover up any of it with the sentiment. Even so, love the slant to the sentiment!
