Off the edge at Indigo Blu

Hello Lovelies! I hope you are well and happy? Have you had a good day? I have had a good one - I went for a swim rather than running today - then had a few minutes in the jacuzzi and then a sauna - bliss - I hope that means my legs will be race ready for sunday - I'm doing a 10K in Lancaster - it will be a slow one as I'm not race fit as yet but its a start!

Today I would like to share a card with you I have made for the Indigo Blu challenge where the theme this month is Off the edge.


First I created the background using mermaid lagoon, cracked pistachio and mowed lawn distress stains, I added the stains to my craft mat then ran card through. I applied splats of water and blotted the excess water off before drying the background. Then I stamped some of the limor circles in the corresponding distress inks. Next I stamped the dreamer image and coloured with spectrum noir pencils the masked it and used distress inks to create the background.



I put the card together and stamped the discover your passion sentiment on the background. 

I'd like to enter this into indigoblublogchallenge-26-off-edge.

Hope you have a good Friday evening - I've got a date with my distress ink spray tool which I finally unearthed today!!!! Big huggles!

Rachel xx

    That is so beautiful Rachel!
    The Cracked Pistachio and Mermaid Lagoon are on my never ending wish list lol! I hate not being able to work or get out! I've just seen on TH's blog that there are some more new products being released and there are a couple that I know I'm going to need lol!
    However I love what you have created - the background is amazing and those colours - yum! The girly stamp is stunning too and actually reminds me of you.
    I hope you enjoy your run at the weekend too - the pool and jacuzzi sound great!
    A really wonderful and beautiful creation Karen x

    What a pretty creation Rachel - love the relaxing colours you've used and the pretty image. Wishing you the very best of luck for your 10K on Sunday - I managed 3.5km on the treadmill at the gym on Wednesday and can't even dream of reaching the dizzy heights of 10K, so you go girl!!!! Will be thinking of you!
