OK, I didn’t nap at work. I did watch craft videos and blog surf though. My Iphone comes in handy like that. I was surfing youtube and found this +Jennifer McGuire tutorial:
It has been awhile since I have crafted with paper and I had the urge after watching the video. After work I marched straight into my craft room, with my scrubs still on, because I WILL fall asleep if I change clothes and get comfy. I also went in there with the intention that I would start an art journal per +Tiare Smith and +Hetty Sanders and their Journal52 blog entries. I follow both of them on Bloglovin’ and loved their latest posts about their art journals, which I was also surfing at work today. But, I was distracted when I started playing with the Distress Inks on watercolor paper because Jennifer’s tutorial was so much fun. I ended up making two cards…
This one was supposed to be a Distress Ink Bleed like the video. It didn’t exactly turn out like that, but I like it. I added the background noise stamp so that I could enter it in the Club Scrap NBUS Noise Stamp Challenge for March.
Then I figured, while I was at it, I would make an entry for the ALBC (Assembly Line Boot Camp ) Week 5 Challenge. This week was projects using stencils/masks. This is what evolved:
The stencil is from the Gimme a Ring Club Scrap kit. I inked it with embossing ink and embossed with copper embossing powder. I embossed the sentiment image as well. All card stock and stamps are from +Club Scrap .
Sigh…I ate leftovers, DID NOT finish the laundry, and made a mess in my craft room that I didn’t pick up either. Hey, I had to work today and it is the first work day after Spring Forward. Give me a break! Now, time for a NAP, I am off to bed…
