Now for my card:
I just loved this sentiment from the set and HAD to make a card with it.
I embossed the background stamps with Glacier White embossing powder.
then I used distressed oxides to color the background.  
This card is perfect for the elusive manly card that can sometimes be hard to come up with.

Better With Age

today to share my DT card
 Yesterday we started our Anything Goes Challenge for May.
And This is the card I made for the challenge

It comes with a pack of 6 Distressed Crayons 
a clear stamp set with some beautiful flowers
a mini black soot ink pad
  Acrylic Block
a paint brush 
 5 sheets of water color paper. 
 Plus a technique Booklet 
 
I stamped the background with one of the flower stamps and embossed the flowers with
Glacier White embossing powder. 


Then I used the distressed crayons with plenty of water and colored in and around the flowers just dabbing colors randomly and flicking the watercolor  until I got the desired effect.

I also embossed the saying from the Penny Black Clear Stamp Set -Birthday Love
with the same  Glacier White embossing powder.  Then I used some chipped sapphire with water to color over the saying to make it stand out a little more.

Hope you enjoy my creation!  Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to join our May challenge.
Happy crafting
Hugs
Michele

You're Going Places

I'm sharing this card on the 7kids blog today

With Graduation coming up I decided to make a card that wasn't the typical graduation card. 
This is what I came up with using one of the Arrow stamps from:


For the watercolor effect in the background I used Tim Holtz distress crayons.
If you haven't tried out the distress crayons yet I suggest you give them a try. 
They are fun to work with.
