MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES.............DT CARD ....WILD ANIMALS


Hi, and welcome to all my very talented, and craft loving friends.

Also welcome to anyone who just pops by to look at my work.

It's Thursday, and time for a new challenge over at 
It's the B Teams turn again, and the lovely Debbie our new member of the B Team is hosting this challenge, and she would like to see Wild Animals on your entries please.
The Challenge runs from today till Wednesday 1st of August and closes at 6PM on that day.
No sponsors for the challenge, but we love to see what you create, and you could be picked as one of the top 3.
So here is what I made for my DT card.





This is a Z fold card I made.
I used the Sheena Douglas inking technique with Aqua Pens and glycerin for my background.
I used a paint brush with some of the same colour, and swiped it gently to create the clouds on the sun and sky.
This is the first time I have done this, and was so pleased with the result.
I had lots of disasters creating this firstly my Sun mask stuck to the scene, so I had to cover it with a punched out one, and lots of other bits I managed to make good.
The stamps used were a freebie from the Creative Stamping Magazine.
I stamped the Elephants with Black Archival Ink, and the Giraffes with Potting Soil Archival Ink, and then water coloured them with the Aqua Pens.
This didn't work well on the Elephants so I stamped them on some grey snippets of card.
The Giraffes were also stamped onto snippets of card then I fussy cut them out and applied them to the scene I created.

Thank you so much for your visit, and precious time.
I really appreciate every visit, and wonderful comment.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

This is right up my street Jenny.......lots of inky loveliness! The scene that you’ve created looks amazing and I love the colours that you’ve used. I’ve become a great fan of using Glycerine on my backgrounds. I started off with the Aqua pens but soon realised that it will also work beautifully with water based ink pads. It blends beautifully and you only need ro use a fraction of the ink that you would normally use. Your sky does look fabulous, in fact the whole scene does. These are without a doubt, some of the best stamps that Creative Stamping have had in their magazines and here they are at their best. Crafty hugs, Sandra x
