HELLO!!! Bright card today! No sunshine here today except on this card! lol
I tried using a Gel Plate for the Smooshed Background on this card. I put drops of Distress Ink refills on the plate, spritzed it with water and then laid the piece of watercolor paper in it and smooshed! Spiced Marmalade, Peeled Paint and Peacock Feathers are the colors I used. Added spatters with the extra ink.
I die cut the NEW Memory Box Small Fringed Peony from three Bazzill Card Shoppe Cardstock colors and pieced them into a white cut. Then I die cut two more of just the white and glued them on top and liked it better.
I went in with some color pencils for some shadows on the flower petals. Just enough colorbook therapy to make me happy!
I die cut the new Memory Box Scribble Leafy Branch Background in Bazzill Cardshoppe cardstock and the Scribble Leafy Branch Outline in White cardstock. Layered and glued them together.
I stamped and embossed the images from the new Memory Box Big and Little Words clear stamp set. I used the MISTI and Gold Embossing Powder.
I added three Doodlebug pearls…sequins might’ve been fun too!
Thanks for stopping by! Hope your Summer is off to a great start! Happy papercrafting!
