Hi everyone! I’m back to share a card I made in November! Hoping I can tell the details right! I really liked how it turned out.
The background I made with a Memory Box stencil. I inked directly on the stencil with Distress Ink Mini stamp pads, then spritzed with water, placed it on watercolor paper and soaked up the color coming through the holes with a paper towel. I think any colors would be pretty with this technique. I need to do it again!
I can’t remember if I let it dry or dried it with a heat tool though. I would think either would be fine. I used the piece I trimmed off to die cut the sentiment die.
I die cut the three Antilles Floral dies in white and adhered them with mounting squares.
I glued the sentiment to a strip of vellum and wrapped the strip over the background layer, gluing the ends behind.
Mounted to a square white card-base.
Linking to some challenges…

Oh my goodness, Pam – this is gorgeous! The soft colors being layered behind and in front of the vellum just make those dies pop!!! Beautiful creation, as always! Gosh, I never wanted these dies, now I want them all! Hugs…
Beautiful card! The background colors are so soft and pretty for spring! I’m going to try this technique soon!
Love the colors you used here. This is such a soft, sweet, lovely card.

Love the beautiful colours and such a serene scene 🙂
Absolutely gorgeous Pam. You’ve let this beautiful background just pop right off the paper on this one plus used it again for the sentiment!!! I love that idea … The colors & those wonderful flowers just scream SPRING & I think we are all ready for it. I’m still trying to wrap my head around exactly how you did this. I’ve been so good about not shopping much lately but you just took care of that. I want everything !!!
Beautiful pastel birthday card.
Beautiful!!
Your background is just beautiful, I have not tried that technique yet myself, it is a great backdrop for your pretty flower die, love that you used it for the sentiment too, so pretty!
You’ve created such a soft spring like card with your beautiful background stencil. I really like how you used the left over paper to cut out the birthday sentiment and floated it on the vellum. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing it at the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge blog this week.
Ohhhhhh, what a lovely card. Want to try your background since I’m a watercolor fanatic! Went to Starlit and ordered the dies you used plus some others. Great card, great inspiration!!! Just love everything about this card. Thanks, Pam
I love your use of white against the soft, colourful background. Thanks for joining in at City Crafter.
This is absolutely gorgeous!! I love the soft and pretty BG… Thanks so much for playing along at CCCB!!
LOVE that background! Perfect choice and perfect colors! Your white flowers just pop! And coloring part of the sentiment to match was brilliant!
Pam, your card is lovely! Love those white flowers and the way they jump out at you. Thanks for joining us this week at the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.
Wow, Pam. After reading how you achieved that wonderful background, I’m going to have to play with inking up a stencil and trying your technique. Love the results. I especially like the way you’ve alternated the watercolor effect with plain white. It makes the die-cut flowers “pop” and having the vellum behind the watercolored sentiment creates the same effect. Great card. Thanks so much for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.
Absolutely stunning Pam! Love the coordination of the background & the sentiment. Thanks for playing along with Seize the Birthday.
Very beautiful Pam! Your background is beautiful and thank you for sharing with us your technique. I, too, and going to try that out. Thank you for joining us and sharing your gorgeous card and creativity with us on Watercooler Wednesdayi.
Pam this background is so yummy – and with the white die cut – just gorgeous!!!
Yep, I have to agree. I like the way it turned out, too. x
It’s very, very pretty.
Such a lovely card! The soft muted colours of the background are stunning. Thanks so much for joining us at CCCB!
