TIME OUT - Casing Tracey McNeely

This week at Time Out, we have an absolutely fabulous card to CASE by the amazing Tracey McNeely:

Isn't it beautiful?! If you want to see more of Tracey's work, be sure to check out her blog In My Creative Opinion.

 We also have an amazing guest designer this week - Stempelfrida - I am sure that you have seen her work but make sure you check out her blog - also called stempelfrida.
And my card:
 

I really loved the colour behind the vellum on Tracey's card, and that was the element that I really wanted to CASE. I used my Distress mini ink cubes to create the background. One at a time, I smooshed them onto a piece of acetate, spritzed them with water and then transferred the ink to a piece of water colour paper. This was my first attempt at this technique - and I think that I am in love! I love how you can control the splatter and the blending.... The colours turned out a little bit more vibrant than I planned (my ink cubes were very juicy!) but I still really like them.

I added the white heat embossed butterfly (Unity Stamp Co.) on top of the splatter, and then added the Walter and Winnie "celebrate" die cut. It was coated in Ranger Antiquities Cement embossing powder and heat embossed. The greeting was stamped in HA Soft Granite to match.

Thanks so much for stopping by and make sure that you take some Time Out to check out the other DT cards (so fabulous!) and play along with our challenge!

Thanks for stopping by!
Jill

    This is an awesome take on the inspiration. I love the bright colors, the sparkly sentiment and the edges of the top panel. Wonderful creation, Jill.

    This is so very pretty. Hey, we both used butterflies--must be a newbie trick! Love how you went so bold with your background colors.

    This is so pretty Jill!! I love smooshing too! It must be REALLY fun for someone like me (who is incredibly controlled with her painting, stamping etc) to enjoying doing it as well. The colours look fantastic against each other and that butterfly is amazing!!
