Happy New Year! Well, it's my first post for the New Year. I hope everyone had a fabulous New Year! This is for my Mother in Law for her birthday.
While I was making this card I thought I was participating in the current My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge #678. Turns out I was looking at the wrong week and when I went to upload it, I saw that the link was closed, haha...ooops! Ah well, it was still needed and still fun to make. I'm not the greatest at water coloring and thought I'd give it some practice. I started out with water color paper, using Granny Apple Green, Shaded Spruce, Pacific Point, and Gorgeous Grape inks. I stamped the butterflies from the My Favorite Things Spread Your Wings stamp set, water colored them, put paper glaze on top of them, and mounted them on pop dots. I ran a piece of Gorgeous Grape through the die cue machine, mounted it on top of my water color panel, then mounted it on a black card base. Next I used a cotton ball to apply pearl ex to the Gorgeous Grape panel to give it some shimmer. I stamped my sentiment and die cut it using the MFT Essential Stitched die-namics and mounted it on pop dots.
Thank you for stopping by!
