Back again.....and the sun is still shining! :)
This card will be entered into the following Challenges;
Penny Black, Pretty In Pink.
Another try at that Water Coloring Splatter Technique.
I used the Altenew stamp and die set,; Wild Hibiscus
stamped in Amalgam Black ink.
Inside sentiment (which I forget to take a picture of) says:
Wish You The Most Beautiful Day from the Beautiful Day stamp set.
Front sentiment Heat Embossed in White from the Peony Spray stamp set.
The front flower has been cropped and backed with Foam Dots for dimension.
This last card will be entered into the Challenges at:
Power Poppy, Pop Of Personality.
Simon Says Monday, Fall/Autumn.
Stamping Sensations, Leaves, Trees or Autumn.
Allsorts, Spots Or Stripes.
I used the Power Poppy stamp sets;
Go Wild! and In Praise Of Sunflowers.
Image stamped in Amalgam Black ink and colored with Copic Markers.
I stamped a second flower and fussy cut that out,
layering the 2 together with Foam Dots for dimension.
Front sentiment Heat Embossed in White.
Happy Birthday stamped inside.
I thought the wonky placement of my panel
fit in nicely with the 'pop of personality' theme.
If you know me, you'll understand! ;)
I scored my background every 1/4" and then swiped my Antique Linen Distress ink directly to it,
until I got the shade I wanted. Layered on Brick and Brown card stock. I purposely placed the PTI Designer Paper, Canyon Clay, with the stripes going horizontally for more of a contrast.
A little bit of Orange and White Polka dotted ribbon, folded as a tab.
A bit of layering and dimension.
Happy Fall Y'All!
Enjoy~~
