In the Studio with Christine

Hi everyone.   A couple of days ago, my friend Christine came over to have a play with Distress Embossing Glazes.  Both of us had bought several of them 2-3 years ago and only used them once.  Here is a link to Christine's post for today with her card she made at our play day!  It's beautiful!!

We had a fun time playing, chatting and eating. :)  We had a few challenges using the Glazes, but we are both happy with how our cards turned out.

I love the vibrancy of the rainbow card above, inspired by Jennifer McGuire's video on Distress Embossing Glazes.  Once I was finished blending DOX inks, stenciling leaves and adding different colours of Glazes, I splattered with water and then splattered again with diluted white paint.  I used a lovely, large die-cut sentiment that I received from a dear stamping friend many years ago. :)  I have to say that I LOVE rainbow cards and I need to make them more often ... they are so happy! :)    

I'm sending the above card to the May Stencil Fun Challenge - Flowers.  I didn't use the optional theme this time. :)
