Sahara Plum Wonder

Today I combined the Friday Mashup challenge with the sketch challenge at Seize the Birthday to come up with this card.  I also happened to use a new technique called Whitewash which I saw on Deb Valder's blog.  This technique is similar to the color wash technique, but I love the idea of using it on Whisper White cardstock, so you can color without pilling.  So, because this is the first time I've done this technique, I'm also linking to the Just Add Ink challenge to try a new technique.

I black embossed the image from Apothecary Art onto Whisper White cardstock, then colored using Whisper White craft ink and a blender pen.  Once that dried, I colored with Perfect Plum; Wisteria Wonder and Sahara Sand markers, using the technique on Deb's video.  Once that was done, I did something I very rarely do and glittered the image!  The ribbon and flower trim were dyed using Perfect Plum ink, water and rubbing alcohol, then dried in the microwave.

Mashup Challenge:

1. Create a card using the colors "Sahara Sand, Perfect Plum & Wisteria Wonder".
2. Create a card and "Mail or Deliver it to Someone Special".
3. Or Mash it Up and create a card with "Sahara Sand, Perfect Plum, Wisteria Wonder & Mail or Deliver it to someone special".

Thanks for looking.
