So Craft Stamper Magazine now has an online challenge - wooohooo!
The idea is that Katy and the DT girls will challenge us to tackle a technique showcased in Craft Stamper magazine: then we Take it and Make it our own!
For challenge #1 we get to play with a 'Faux Airbrushing' technique, demonstrated by Joanne Allison in the March 2013 issue. We get nearly
TWO whole months to grab a copy of the magazine and perfect the technique before the challenge closes at midnight Friday 5th April. The girls will announce the winner on the Craft Stamper site on Monday 8th April.
I couldn't resist having a go straight away as I was knocked-out by the DT cards.
I'm currently into masking and thought the technique would suit this style of card.
I masked-off a section on my card and got busy with Distress Inks, then sponged through some sequin waste with more Distress Ink to achieve the faux airbrushing effect. I inked-up a beautiful Art Journey stamp, but masked the surrounding words to leave just the image of the girl. I finished by adding further detail with a Craft Stamper freebie stamp and sentiment by Hero Arts.
Not a quick process, but very enjoyable and hopefully good enough to enter the challenge.
Happy Crafting everyone!

Fabulous card Jo, I love the design and your airbrush technique is really cool. Love the colours you have chosen. I must get a copy of the magazine and have a go!
Love your card you make distress inks look lovely - I never managed to get on with them - might have to give it another go sometime.
Fab card. I must get the mag and give this a go.

Gorgeous Jo. Glad the challenge goes for 2 months as January one has only just come out here in NZ... March won't be out for quite some time ~ hopefully before the end of the challenge so I can see the technique.
