This is my entry for the Way to Use it Challange at Splitcoaststampers. The element we were supposed to use were BEADS

Useful to say that this is so far the card that I've spent more time working on - since I had to create the dreamcatcher from scratch. I had this idea since long time now, saw this element on a LO and I always wanted to adapt it to a card, so this was the perfect deal since we had to use beads! 

Same old same, I created the background using 3 distress ink, applied randomly two different types of washitape to create some interest, then I doodled around the edge of my card...then...guess what? As always a mistake: see these drops of ink? They were added by mistake. They were not supposed to be that big, had trouble getting them dried without smudging them. I used a cue tip to absorb the excess. 

Cut the "DREAM BIG" with my Cameo and heeell...this was a pain! The machine didn't collaborate with me, untill I decided to change the blade and then magically it worked again! Damn you Cameo!!! LbigOL

This is my entry for the Sketch Challange at Splitcoaststampers, I like to take it easy...."deadline" (we don't really have a deadline!) was Tuesday! LOL! This is the sketch we had to follow : SKETCH SC450

As my previous entry (you can check it out HERE ) I gave again my very own interpretation of the sketch.  

Panel 1 : Backgroud

Panel 2 : washi tape strips

Panel 3 : Pattern paper matted on heron

Panel 4 : 3 roses

I made the background by applying some mod podge over a white cardstock, then I put some piece of paper from an old book and I went over again with some more mod podge. I applied over my background some acrylic gesso with my finger and I let it dry. When the background was well dry I stamped over with Hero Arts Shadow Ink Soft Granite.

Then I proceeded with the decoration of my card. This card was a total mess, took me forever to do it because I was never satisfied with the background - had to do it like 3 times!
