I tried something different on this card, but an artist I am not! I used a piece of watercolor paper and wet it thoroughly. I smooshed three colors (an ivory, a blue and a purple) of distress ink onto my craft mat and used a brush to add them to the watercolor paper. It's not the best background, but it's acceptable. The flower stamp is from an Inkadinkado set. I colored it with Copic markers. I matted the image panel with black and added it to an ivory card base. This completes my use of the two smallest sizes of Stampin' Up! sets - on to the next size!
Edited to add: Sandy - I am just about half done with my project. It's been a long one so far! I really am committed to finish it, though, no matter how long it takes. :)
Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!
Lynette, your background really gives depth to this card. I have some watercolor paper I purchased for a project I never got to. I may just have to try this.
ReplyDeleteAre you more than half-way through your quest to older Stampin' Up sets?
Your background is so soft and pretty! I think it looks great with the flower that you used. I keep telling myself I'm going to use all of my stamps or all of my dies.............not working out so well here. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteThis is so lovely - that background is really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe background is beautiful. Just love this card.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flower stamp and nice job on the WC background. I haven't done much of that because I'm too stingy with the WC paper, tee hee. Still love my Wonderful Words, too!
