USE YOUR STUFF - Challenge #224 - Inks

Renée's challenge this week is to bust out your inks! This is the FIRST acrylic card I have ever made.  I learned how at an on line class called Sheer and Clear.

Acrylic: American Crafts
Front Panel: Recollections
Distress Inks: Tim Holtz
Butterfly die: Taylored Expressions
Sequins: ArtMind and Craft Medley
Embossing Folder: Cuttlebug
Greeting (inside): Close to My Heart

I also used one of those Tim Holtz Marker Spritzers for the first time.

USE YOUR STUFF - Challenge #223 - Heat Embossing

Patterned Paper: K&Company
Alcohol Inks: Ranger
Die: Penny Black
Black Cardstock: Recollections
Sentiment Stamp: Kaisercraft
Embossing Powder: Recollections

Note: It's hard to tell from the photo, but there is a little silver mixed in the bottom half of the panel (where the "water" should be) to make it look more like waves.

USE YOUR STUFF - Challenge #221 - A Sketch

Our fellow Design Team member, Tina, found this older PageMaps sketch for us to use.  At first I was very intimidated by it and it took me forever to figure out what photo(s) to use.  BUT two days before the deadline, I managed to get 'er done!

This is hubby and I at my parent's 60th wedding anniversary party back in 2012.

I used items from a ScrapShotz Kit.

Cardstock: Bazzill
Patterned Paper: My Minds Eye - My Story
Brad: My Minds Eye - My Story
Stickers: My Minds Eye - My Story
Alphas: American Crafts - Thickers
Spray: Heidi Swapp
