Camouflage Die Cutting

I've always wanted to try--and maybe I did, once, unsuccessfully--the "camouflage" technique

shared by the uber talented Laurafadora over at Papertrey Ink for their

Make It Monday series. Have you seen her video? I wanted to give it another shot.

Here's my card.

I tried to do ombré inking, but the two red inks were pretty similar. And since I didn't have
any suitable word sentiment dies, I used Papertrey Ink's alphabet dies
for the camouflaged sentiment.

I had to chuckle after I took the photo. Doesn't my card remind you of Santa?
The white = his beard, red = his suit, black = his belt. A deconstructed Santa.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Make It Monday 161--Watercolor Splats

When I saw how Nichole Heady created her watercolor splats, I couldn't wait to get inky
with Papertrey Ink's Make It Monday Challenge. It was my first time ink distressing with
their premium dye inks and I love how the water drops have a bokeh effect.
 

I applied three of their inks: Raspberry Fizz, Orange Zest, and Harvest Gold

using the new mini ink blending tools. (Love them!)

I followed Nichole's tutorial and added drops of water in varying sizes,

white embossed the Wet Paint sentiment, then added a few butterflies that were

punched out from a second inked piece.

I'm also entering this in Moxie Fab World's Hip on Handwriting Challenge

because the paint brush sentiment is trendy and fun. And I wish that I wrote it.
