Happy Saturday....do you want to 'embrace happiness'?
It is the weekend after all and a good time to play.
I am playing along with the challenge at Splitcoast which was themed May. So we were asked to use the colours of May; Emerald and Sapphire. Thought of my Brushos right away.
I wanted to make a collage style card since I haven't done one in a very long time.
I took out my Frayed Burlap stencil from Ranger and laid it onto my 90 lb. watercolour paper. Using a small Versamark cube, I randomly pressed it over my stencil just in the corner of my paper. Removed the stencil then sprinkled on some white embossing powder and heat set.
I then went over that with grunge stamps from Papertrey Ink and embossed them with white too.
Took out my Brushos (a crystalized paint medium) and sprinkled it over my paper; sprayed with water and watched the magic happen.
Last, I stamped and white embossed the sentiment from Penny Black onto a scrap of black cs. and pop dot mounted it over the background.
I am adding my card to these challenges:
Simon Says- LET'S GET SENTIMENTAL
Shopping Our Stash- BIG, BOLD and BEAUTIFUL
STAMPlorations Sketch- SKETCH #33
Hope you have a great weekend. I am so happy that Spring has finally arrived here in Ontario.

Supplies: stamps- PTI, PB/ stencil-Ranger/ wh eb powder/ heat tool/ Brusho/ mini mister
