Let me just say I have fallen in LOVE with one of my new stamp sets, from Papertrey Ink, Daydreamer. It is an older set but I find it utterly delicious!
This card will be entered into the Challenges at PTI, Watercolor Smooshing and Simon Says Monday, B Is For.....
Betsy has a wonderful VIDEO showing exactly how to smoosh, in case you don't know how to. lol
I used inks in Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, Pear Pizzazz and Wild Wasabi. Nice and bright colors, love the Spring time feel you get from them. And smooshed them all on to my acrylic block, and then placed my watercolor paper on it. The stamp set is Daydreamer, by PTI. I stamped the flowers directly on to watercolor paper and a second time which I fussy cut out and popped up on 3 dimensional dots. Some 'randomly' tossed pink sequins for a little accent and that is all.
I really love the artsy feel of the backgrounds, I liked it so much I made 2 of them for this card. An easy technique, watch the video and give it a try. Inside I used 2 border dies from MFT, Dotted Scallop and Open Bracket.
Last week I received my order from Papertrey Ink, I had won an $80 Gift Certificate from one of their Anniversary Challenges. Whahoo! I chipped in $11 of my own and here is what I received....Happy Mail for sure!
Stitched Pinked Edge Label Die, Polka Dot Parade # 9 Die, Simple Sunflower Die, Daydreamer Stamp Set, Hexagon and Chevron Vertical Cover Plate Dies, Christmas Sentiments Mini, Polka Dot Parade Mini, Simple Sunflower Mini, and Happy Hexagons Mini Stamp Sets. FUN!!!
