Dropped in a Puddle of Glimmer Mist!?

Hi! Still smooshing Distress Oxides around, and generally making a mess, I made this card using colours inspired by the challenge at Sunday Stamps. I didn't have a teal colour in my collection of Oxides (oooh, do I need to go shopping?) so I used normal Distress ink with Candied Apple Distress Oxide, and they worked really well together. I love this smooshing technique! When it was dry, I fixed it behind a die cut frame, and added a die cut dandelion with a gem for the centre. I stamped the sentiment at the bottom of the card, and then decided to add 'a little' Glimmer Mist. Unfortunately, I got a bit carried away and ended up drenching the whole thing. It has a lovely shimmer now, but the sentiment has blurred a little, and I'm not sure if the overall effect is 'nice and shimmery' or 'dropped in a puddle'. But anyway, here's the card:

Later In The Evening

Hi! Here's another card with the tree and birds, but this time I wanted to do a late evening version, with blues and purples. I coloured with ink dusters, and then smothered it all with Glimmer Mist. I love the colours in this one, and I'm thinking I'd like to make a version with a tree stamp and some little bats, for Halloween!

Stencilled Panel

Hi! Here's a card inspired by this week's Muse card. I used the panel and colours for inspiration. I masked off the panel, added the colours lightly with ink dusters, then laid the stencil on top and added the colours more deeply. It's very simple, but I like the bold colours.

Orange Blossoms

Hi! Here's a card I made today, inspired by the colour challenge at Sunday Stamps and the sketch at CAS Colours & Sketches.

I masked the top and bottom of the card so only the ribbon shape was showing, and then stamped and coloured with inks. I added Nuvo Drops to the flower centres, which is making me hungry because the silver reminds me of the edible silver balls you get on cupcakes... It doesn't take much to remind me of food, to be honest, and it's worse at the moment, as I'm on a diet...

I used a birch trees stencil, masked a circle for the sun, and added the background with ink dusters. I stamped the wild grasses and leaves, then added the punched flower and butterflies.
