It really means using Distress Inks, Shabby Chic, Grunge or something like that. Check the blog and you will see what Sam has written about this challenge and her delightful tag too. Once again we are missing Cathryn who has not been able to join us for this challenge due to her not being up to it health wise. Cathryn we wish you well, we miss you and your lovely creations.
For this challenge I made a tag
I am not into using yellow with anything I do but for some reason I have recently been drawn to it so here are my yellow poppies. I used my Distress Inks to make the background tag which was then spritzed with water droplets to create a mottled look. The smaller tag was put through a script embossing folder and then DI's applied to it in green and yellow.
Finally I added some green fern (the ends off a die cut so they were smaller) and fussy cut my poppies from my stamped image which was painted with DI's and a brush.
We look forward to seeing your entries for this challenge but please please please read the rules and guidelines at the top of the Artful Times blog - so many are not fulfilling the criteria we ask for and therefore cannot be considered for the prize at the end of each month.
