Blog Hop # 23 - Words of Truth



Hello to all of you that are visiting me today!
This is the 23rd blog hop from the talented team of INKspired Artists.
Have you hopped over from Louise in the INKspired Challenge or have you come from Just Add Ink?
 I have entered this card into one of their challenges also, Just Add Male.

 Please make sure you check out all the Blogs in our INKspired team and see what everyone has done with our sketch this week.




My card uses both the "Skating By" and the "Words Of Truth" stamp sets.
This guy is so cute! I just love his Razzleberry pants!  Can you see his guitar strings? I used the silver metallic thread to make real strings on his rockin' guitar! Totes adorable!


Are you wondering how I did the splash of Bermuda Bay in the bottom corner?  Well I did that with a technique called "Clear Block Stamping". It is literally just scribbling onto a clear block and just pressing down (or stamping) the ink onto your project! You can see a quick video of this technique <here> it's an easy technique and gives such a great "grungy" look too.

Maree is next in line as always and I can't wait to see what she has made for us...
