So I have some really really exciting news to share with you. The beautiful Katharina Frei has asked me to join the Whiff of Joy team and OMG I can't be more excited!!!! I am completely over the moon. I have loved Whiff of Joy stamps since I started cardmaking. So you can imagine what a complete honour this is. And as fate would have it I just received this City Girl stamp Dancing Willow, which I ordered a few weeks ago. Today I coloured with distress inks, I find them relaxing for a change, but you need a bit more time than with copics. I wanted my flowers to match my dp so I experiemented and the results are so different. The dark pink ones were dyed with 1 drop of Tim Holtz distress ink refill aged mahogany in about 2 tbl. sp. water. They took the colour well but they became far too saturated that they nearly fell apart. The light pink ones were done using 1 drop aged mahogany and 2 tbl. sp. alcohol. Well the ink and alcohol do not mix, but I actually preferred the soft look it achieved. Can you believe the difference between the two, wow! I added pearls to match her necklace and a beautiful butterfly. All the edges are distress with vintage photo. Well that's about it, I am entering my card at .... Simon Says Stamp and Show... - A Tim Holtz Technique, There She Goes - Monochromatic, My Partner in Crafting Crime - Inspiration Photo, One Stitch At A Time - Make it Sassy, Pile It On - Use a rubber stamp, A Gem of a Challenge - Pearls and/or swirls, Sugar Creek Hollow - Monochromatic, Paper Play - Photo inspiration.

AMAZING!!!! Glorious! WOOHOOO!!! WOJ DT!! YOU ARE FREAKIN' AMAZING! SHe obviously knows talent when she sees it! LOVE IT GIRL! ROCKIN'!!!!
Congratulations on the DT spot. Beautiful card. Totally stunning. Unfortunately, you didn't use a "Magical" character (Angel, Fairy, Dragon, Mermaid) so it doesn't qualify for the Magical Monday Prize. There is still plenty of time if you would like to enter again - maybe with one of the WOJ Guardian Angels?
