this week’s theme is anything goes, so i chose to make a side-step birthday card with bella that i coloured with distress ink pads and twinkling H2Os. click here to the distress ink pads page and you’ll find a distress ink colour swatch chart to download. tip: i attach one inch squares of watercolour paper to the chart to make my colour swatches.
the challenge is open to everyone, you can use any stamps and products that you would like, and you can enter as many times as you want – how easy is that? there are some fabulous prizes to be won – vouchers to the loves rubberstamps store and a prize from this week’s sponsor the cutting cafe, plus a chance to be a guest designer – just put GDT after your name. i hope you’ll play along! thanks for popping by.
