Something Green at Craft for the Craic

I'm very excited to be on the Design Team at new challenge blog - Craft for the Craic (Irish for fun)! Isn't that while we all started crafting - for the craic?  It's not just for cards or even just papercrafting - knitting, crochet, altered items, jewellery, sewing, baking - whatever you love to craft, we want to see it!

I've been admiring the watercolour cards trend around the blogs so for the Something Green theme I decided to use Broken China and Mustard Seed distress inks and let the Something Green happen where the two inks met.  I white embossed a Hero Arts flower and sentiment onto some Neenah white card, spritzed the card with water, then added the ink colours with a paintbrush.


As the colours blended, the Something Green appeared :)



I then dragged some more Neenah card through the ink splodges left on my craft sheet and punched some butterflies out of the blue-green-yellow colours on the card and mounted everything onto some Neenah Kraft cardstock.

Have a look at the wonderful variety of crafts the other Design Team members have created at their blogs -

I hope you'll all join us and show us what you made for the craic!  Looking forward to seeing your creations at Craft for the Craic.

I'd like to enter this into Virginia's View Challenge - Watercolour
