Hello!
Today I'm sharing a card I've made for the Card Round Robin at Swirlydoos. Paulien is hosting and she had us choose 3 out of 5 things to put on our cards:
Today I'm sharing a card I've made for the Card Round Robin at Swirlydoos. Paulien is hosting and she had us choose 3 out of 5 things to put on our cards:
* Use a stamped or
hand written sentiment.
* Use a resist
technique
* Use a handmade
flower
* Use staples
* Use a bottle-cap
I managed to use a resist technique, handmade flowers, and a stamped sentiment.
I embossed the background using Penny Black "Allover Pattern" stamp and Ranger "Frosted Crystal" embossing powder. Then I went for an ombre effect using Aqua, Cotton Candy, and Metallic Blueberry Gelatos - scribbled them on and then blended them with water and a paintbrush.
This is what you end up with if you use watercolour paper.
For experimentation purposes, I did the same thing on Inkssentials Specialty Stamping Paper and ended up with a hot mess! The gelatos just smear on this paper.
I cut my card piece out of the watercolour paper, added a doily and some Diamond Stickles in the center.
Made some tulips with a Sizzix die called "Flowers, Tulip #2" I used a large embossing tool to puff them up, and then went around the outside edges with a smaller one to create a "lip" that I could apply glue to.
A stamped sentiment, some bling, and a ribbon finished everything off.
Hope you've enjoyed a little taste of Spring today!
