Welcome to the weekend!
So nice to have some extra time to play.
This morning at Splitcoast, we are being inspired by the Novica site with an added tribute to our Moms.
My mom was such an amazing person. She lived sharing her kindness, laughed as she treasured those precious moments with family and friends and loved deeply. She was my best friend and I miss her so much everyday.
I chose these earrings as my inspiration. They are so unique and beautiful, just like my mom; made from orchid petals.
To create my card, I placed a stencil from Prima along the side of my 90lb watercolour paper and applied some Gesso over that. When dry, I sprinkled on some Brusho in blue and purple and then sprayed with water. Brushos are a crystal paint medium that are activated by adding water.
I love how the colours emerged leaving a wonderful design behind as the Gesso acted as a resist.
I stamped the sentiment from Rubbernecker onto a piece of black cardstock with Versamark, then embossed it with white.
I am adding my card to these challenges:
Little Red Wagon- 'B'ELIEVE IT
