Hello again,
I have made a card following this month's Group of Cardmakers, using the bleaching technique. I have used a scrap of water colour card which I used dylusions Funky Fuchsia and crushed grape spray inks and one of my potluck stamps from Darkroom Door that I bought before they closed down in Australia and recently re-opened in the UK. My potluck stamps are from the scraps, when the rubber had not quite made a full set, they saved the stamps that they could and sold them at a discount.
My stamp comes from the set called Viva la Flora Vol.2 it has a script background which doesn't show on my card as the texture of the water colour card comes through. Stamped in clear ink and heat embossed in black powder. Using bleach-soaked cotton buds on the flowers, I have added a sentiment from Art Stamps Australia.
What I used
White card blank 10.5x14.8cm
Watercolour card (Micador from Big W)
Clear embossing ink
Black embossing powder
Art stamps Australia Sentiment stamp
Dylusions Spray ink Funky fuchsia and crushed grape
I would like to enter this card in:
We Love Stamping 'Spring' We already have one jonquil and anemone in flower, whilst all the trees are still only just starting to get their Autumn leaves changing colour her in Aus.
We are starting to get Autumn leaves in our area, which I fully expect to be overrun with tourists as they change as some of the elegant gardens in our area are cut off after several years of extreme weather has caused damage to the roads, some are required to get permits to enter their own streets some of which are several kilometres long, some people have had weddings cancelled as the venues have had to close to the public, some are used to getting 1000+ visitors each day over Autumn.
That does not include the still cut main highway between Sydney and greater west New South Wales where convicts built the road in 1832 and it has recently failed, almost 200 years and used to transport B-double trucks laden with coal for export or quarry materials for construction. A Blog post from one of the local librarians shows a colourised picture and a story of a grisly murder from 1842,
