Good morning lovelies! How are you? I hope you're well! The weather here has gone yuk - I went for a run yesterday in horrible wind and rain - not looking forward to that becoming the norm! I did get a lovely piece of news yesterday though - I got a top 3 in the Craft Stamper make it take it acetate challenge - wonderful - I'm thrilled to bits as I love the magazine. And Lucy and Penny both got glowing results from school at parents evening too.
Onto today - well I was lucky enough to win the WOW powders challenge last month and got 6 wow powders through the post on Friday - I had to have a play and thought I would try something for the current challenge of stars and stripes. Here's what I did:
It was quite difficult to photograph this one - so sorry about that. I made the thick stripes by dragging versamark over my card front then adding white opaque WOW powders and heat setting. The finer stripes were made using a versamark pen that I just ran across the page then added sparkling white wow powder then heat set. The stars were cut using X cut dies and stamped with some LOTV stamps in versamark and added sparkling white and heat set again. The sentiment is also LOTV. Its very different for me but \I did enjoy doing this! Its always good to play!!!
I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
WOWembossing powders October challenge
wowembossingpowder: Stars and stripes
