March - Love to Scrap Challenge Blog


     Hi all.  Welcome to the March Challenge on the Love to Scrap Challenge Blog.  This month's challenge is Anything Goes sponsored by DRS Designs.  

      To join this month's challenge ------->>CLICK HERE


     This month I used this stamp from DRS Designs called 
Dogwood Branch.  I wanted to do an ink smoosh technique and a watercolor technique with Distress Oxide Inks. I like the control of placing the watercolor myself.  The ink smooshing came out a little to abstract for my taste, LOL!! Which technique do you like best?





     For both cards I used Canson XL watercolor paper.  For the distress oxide inks I used Picked Raspberry, Salty Ocean, Crushed Olive, Mowed Lawn, & Aged Mahogany. Neenah Solar White 110lb for the card base. I topped them off with Studio Katia iridescent sequins.  

I hope you like my projects.  Hope you'll join us for this month's challenge. Can't wait to see what you come up with.

XOXO

    Two beautiful cards!! I think I prefer the first one; the color is much more bold, but they are both fabulous!

      Thanks so much for your kind words, Heather. I prefer the first one too. They were both fun to make.

I used Zig markers to color in the birdies for both cards. I love how they blend so easily on Bristol Smooth card stock. For my first card I was in a rainbow mood. I used Bristol smooth card stock with the MFT cloud stencil and distress oxide inks. I had fun with this 😂. The little birdies are so cute.
