Ohhh I'm so happy that I can join House Mouse challenges as much times as I want! This is my third entry for the Zodiac Sign challenge. I made Twins (22 May - 21 Jun) card with Distress ink colours. The stamp print and the background excists in just one layer. In order to do that I used one of my favourite techniques: make a stamp print, colour it and then apply a cover of liquid masking film. When the layer is dry it wil appear transparant grey, only then you can start with the background. For the background I used 4 colours: Candied Apple, Abandoned Coral, Carved Pumpkin and Mustard Seed. I made prints close to each other with the ink pads on a baking sheet (only use it for crafting, it is wonderful!). After that I sprayed some water over it (generously), layed my stamp print in it and twisted it for a bit (if you overdo it you wil lose the different colours). Let it dry for a bit and made some extra splashes on it. To finish the card of I stamped the sentiment Happy B-day, for that I used the same colours as I used for colouring my stamp image. Sometimes you just have to work dirty to make it more fun (my hands are always covered in ink after such projects LOL).
