I am going through a very
bright phsase at the moment and seem to be attracted to shades of
blue and purple, whatever it is I’m enjoying it. Here’s how I
created this card:
1. I created the background
late at night so that I could leave the Distress resist spray to dry
naturally. I used a piece of A5 card and positioned my stencil over
the top. I did not stick it in position. I used the Distress resist
spray and applied a layer onto the card.
2. Because there was a lot of
resist spray on the stencil I took a print from the stencil then
washed it with warm water and washing up liquid. I left it to air
dry.
3. The next day I created
washes from my Distress re-inkers in a paint palette.
4. Once the card was inked I
dried it with my heat tool. I popped it underneath some dies to
flatten.
5. I used snippets to die cut
the stitched banner and to stamp the flowers onto. I fussy cut the
flowers out then stamped the butterflies onto the stitched banner.
6. Following Kim’s sketch I
dug into my snippets bag and found a piece of card that had DecoArt
Crackle Paste added to it with the Harlequin stencil and I then
coloured that with Luminarte H2O watercolours.
7. I inked the edges of the
stamped die cut and the card using ink blending tool and foam using
Peacock Feathers and Faded Jeans Distress Oxides.
8. I die cut the sentiment
from snippets and coloured them with Luminarte H2O watercolours. I
added ribbon and pearls to further embellish my card.
The
sketch made creating this card so much easier and it’s always fun
to play along like this as I usually end up finding something that I
really love that I will use in future too. Thank you Kim! 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
soon ttfn Karen x
