Greetings Earthling!
This week’s Visible Image Design Team theme, 'Teenage Birthday', was a challenge for me. I don’t have any children nor do I know any personally so I went with my friends' descriptions of life with their teenagers. This largely translated to “it’s like living with another species” so the Alien Invader stamp seemed the perfect choice. My brief was to make a CAS card so I started with my background, as that forms a large part of a CAS design. I knew that Distress Spritz sprays showed up on black so thought they’d make an excellent galaxy. I sprayed Wilted Violet, Picked Raspberry and Peacock Feathers and then used a paintbrush to spatter Frozen Fog for the stars. After stamping and clear heat-embossing the images, for some simple colouring, I smooshed Distress Inks in Peacock Feathers, Picked Raspberry and Mustard Seed onto my glass craft mat and sprayed with water for easy watercolour. I also used a little gold and silver mica spray for glitter...
