 I have wanted to play with my interference inks by Lisa Horton to make a galaxy background for a long time. When I found the Altenew Mini Moon (and this one would work even better!) in my stash, it all came together in my head! After I made the card, I found a poem on the internet, printed it, and added it to the two empty sections. I love those inks!

Wine and the Holidays

 

 

Art Impressions has some wonderful products and the Divas are ready to hopefully inspire and delight you with their projects.

Art Impressions is giving a $25 gift card to the

 Winner of the May challenge. 

The challenge is to make your creation look like it is water colored.  You can use water colors, distress  and distress oxides or whatever you want to get the water color look we want to see.

Here is my project-

I really struggle with water coloring images-I don't like it, I don't enjoy it. Now backgrounds I can do! So I water colored this paper with Altenew 24 pan colors, and then embossed it with an older embossing folder from Anna Griffin (Holly Damask). The image is an Art Impressions stamp called "Christmas Cheer" (which is retired). The sentiment is from the My Favorite Things stamp set "Sassy Pants Holiday" and the die is Spellbinders Fancy Tags 2.
