Another weekend already? Where do the weeks go? Anyway, thank you for dropping by today. During my productive crafty session yesterday I put the finishing touches to this little beauty.
She was one of my "accidental" purchases that fell into my virtual basket while looking at the Funky Kits Sale in January. I can't find her in the shop so am guessing that she's out of stock at the mo.
As well as making an attempt to use forgotten dies, I am also challenging myself to try new stuff and in this case finally had a go at painting with distress inks.
I always look on in absolute awe at the wonderful art work achieved by Annette and Squirrel (among others), and although I do not have the bottles of re-inkers thought I would improvise by squishing DI on to my craft mat and pick up with a Koi water brush. Imagine my delight when I discovered I could do it!!
So much so that I am even showing a close up of my effort.
The papers came from an American crafts pack that I picked up in TKMaxx. The banner is another of my abandoned unused dies by Cheery Lynn and the sweet little stamp is by Technique Tuesday.
I'm off to play at these challenges

Brill colouring Sarah. I don't have reinkers or distress pens either and like you just squish it onto a craft mat as you found it works just as well.
That image is really sweet to, I wonder how it fell into your basket? :)
