Today I have my make for the latest CC3 challenge hosted by linda ledbetter. The theme this fortnight is Distress Watercolour which you’ll find on page 39 of A Compendium of Curiosities, Vol. #3. As with every challenge, the team will be selecting a “Curiosity Crew’s Choice” winner who will receive a fantastic collection of Tim’s products, courtesy of Tim himself and Mario! To be eligible to win this prize package, you must visit each of the team members’ blogs and leave a comment there.
All our odd-numbered challenges are sponsored by the wonderful online shop, INSPIRATION EMPORIUM! Joy and the IE gang will award an incredibly generous FIFTY DOLLAR gift certificate to one lucky, randomly selected participant.
Anyway - here's what I did - would you believe its a Christmas Card!
The background has been made using aged mahogony and weathered wood distress stains and pumice stone distress ink. The sentiment was made using the embossing folder from TH.
The topper is where I used the distress watercolour technique. I used aged mahogony and weathered wood distress for this using the techniques from the book.
I would like to enter my make into the compendium-of-curiosities-3-challenge-5.
Hope you have a great day! I'm off to the gym today - I think I'll do my gym routine then a class called metabolic effect. I'll see if I like it! Then its gardening club followed by cleaning!!! Lol!! Sounds like a good day to me!
Hope you have a good day and thanks for visiting!
