blues

A card for 2 challenges this week - the theme of 'faces' for Rainbow Lady's challenge 106, and the sketch from Moving along with the Times challenge 49.
I am still playing in Tim Holtz mode, but different colours this time -the background used weathered wood, old paper, shabby shutters and faded jeans DIs, with the faded jeans the most obvious one. The background started off using an Impressabilities flourish as a stencil, with the two palest DIs. Stamps used were by Elusive Images - script  and face from the art girl plate, and a small flouish from the with sympathy plate. The script was stamped with faded jeans, the girl with black memento ink - the flourish was sprayed with water and stamped round the edges, then blotted to remove some of the ink.
The background paper was from the Guild paper pack, and the prima flowers had their initial  colours changed with more faded jeans sponged on fairly heavily. Martha Stewart punched strip also got the ink treatment
