Make your own background & make it your star ...

Hello my lovely friends and visitors, I hope your weekend is going well.  I have another card I created for several challenges to share with you today.  The inspiration for this creation is the ‘Create Your Own Background and Make It The Star one of my all time favourite challenges lol!  I really am a wee bit obsessed with the new stencil and stamp set I was able to purchase: I am in love with them lol!  Anyways here it is …

Word Art Wednesday Challenge #219 Anything Goes

This card started as a snippet of white card.  I used a large piece of card from another project and I attached the outer stencil with Washi tape and I placed the inner flower stencil inside the big stencil so that I could paint the outline.  I used the pink (Beautifully Grunge) to paint within the stencil, then I used the gold (Essentials set) to add gold highlights to the pink.  I used the pink for the background but much, much paler lol!  I have to admit the pink colour popped more than I expected it to.  It is one of the blessings of the AquaTints – I need to remember to add less paint to my palette next time lol!  The stencil set contains multiple parts and I love that because it means I can get many different looks from it.

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit and comment.  I really do appreciate it and I hope you get some time to do what you love to do this weekend  ttfn Karen x
