Hope you all had a nice, relaxing weekend? I'm feeling better and enjoyed sleeping in the last few days. Unfortunately I have to head back to work today...hope this week will fly by fast...*wink*!!!
Anyway, we have a brand new Flourishes Timeless Tuesday ~ FTTC134 for you! Maki is our hostess this week and her theme this week is...... *Keep Calm and Play with Water* - Use water for your creation. You can use images and/or elements that include water or use any techniques that include water as its supplies (for examples : water coloring, misted BG with water, water color wash).
I wanted to try something new and came across a fun technique that our mega talented Beate has posted over on Splitcost...it's called Stamped Acrylic Block Background....totally cool idea!!! I had so much fun creating different looking backgrounds by simply stroking and smashing my ink pads & misting water over the acrylic block. You should definitely give this one a try too!!!
My main images are from two different Flourishes Sets ~ Kids Play and Sweet Days of Summer. As you can tell these two Silhouette Sets are perfect to create some awesome CAS cards :) !!!
Now it's time to check out all the gorgeous creations the rest of the team has waiting for you ~ Cindy, Heather, Maki, Tammy, Beate and Betty. Please help us welcome our new September Guest Designer Theresa Winslow.
Have a fabulous week and I'll see ya soon!
Hugs, ~Silke~
