Finally got something made for the current SSS flickr challenge. my something new is the fun SSS die Tickle Breeze. When I saw that die I just had to have and seriously isn't that name too fun??? Anyway... I had an idea of how I wanted to use it but the holidays arrived and my crafting time departed. Got a chance the other day to put my idea on cardstock! I used a lot of different Distress Oxide inks on this one. I first added multiple colors using Q-tips (Wild Honey, Spiced Marmalade, Fired Brick, and I forgot the rest, lol!). Then I blended on Broken China, Salty Ocean and Black Soot. As I was adding in the colors I was afraid that I had made a mess, but I continued on!! I die cut the Tickle Breeze twice, from the panel, backed it with silver cardstock and then splattered on white acrylic paint mixed with water. When I finished I asked my resident expert on the milky way (my 11 year old son!) if mine looked like the milky way and he said "yes!"!! Mission accomplished!! The you and stars were embossed in silver on vellum and the sentiment in silver on black. Trimmed out the stars and the you, adhered everything and I was done! Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to explain (somewhat) my process.
Also adding this to the current SSS Wednesday challenge of something new (my Tickle Breeze die).
