Between The Folds Challenge Blog - Post #28A

This week's challenge at Between the Folds Bi-Weekly Challenge Blog is to make a project with a Water Theme.

I used Close To My Heart's Eggplant, Black & White Water Colour cardstocks.

To embellish the card, I used CTMH's Calypso Sequins, CTMH's Paint Brushes to water colour my images with CTMH's Goldrush, Eggplant & Black inks and for the background I did the smooshing technique with CTMH's Fern, Goldrush & Eggplant inks where I took a piece of page protector...inked it up and sprayed water on it...then smooshed it onto my piece of white water colour cardstock.

I used CTMH's Purr-fect Halloween - August Stamp of the Month stamp set with Ranger Archival Jet Black ink.
