Grungy flower

 


I say a U-tube video by Ryan Swift from Glitter Grunge and I was so impressed 
I had to take a try at his technique.  Above are the two cards I made.  Normally 
I would just leave white space around a flower like below.  Above you use
a blender blush or tool of you choice to blend and then take a stencil to
random areas of your card.  I like how it turned out.  Instead of adding a 
sentiment I just tucked a piece of the copper shinny paper I used as a layer
inside for when I am ready to use the card. 




Have a wonderful weekend, I'm glad you stopped by.

A few fun challenges:

Two gorgeous grungy flower cards but like Loz, I am prone to the bit of white but both are gorgeous. xx

They're both pretty versions of that gorgeous flower! I love the differently colored centers as well as the random stenciling, so I'd have a difficult time choosing a favorite. That copper mat adds such a touch of elegance too!

Both are gorgeous Donna and I love that large colorful flower! I need to check out that video, enjoy your weekend!

Oh love both of them and I like the first one best. I think because you used a stencil to add some texture. Now you have inspired me to make one. Awesome job dear friend.

What a difference the stencil makes, Donna! I’m gonna remember this technique because I frequently distress die cut edges but don’t think to make visual interest with a stencil. Thank you for sharing your beautiful card!

Great card and technique! I love the colors you chose, and you make it sound so easy. I may have to try that.

Fabulous card. Leaving the card free of a sentiment allowed that gorgeous flower to pop. Thanks for joining us at The Funkie Junkie Boutique Blog.
