Always There

 Morning.

I love this PB sentiment.  We all have those special friends that touch our lives in a wonderful way.
This card is going out to some very special friends of ours.

I began by masking the edges of my card using Painter's Tape then placed my paper into my MISTI.  I colored the flowers called Bejeweled from Penny Black with Memento markers, sprayed with water and stamped.  I repeated that process, adding darker shades of colour to the flowers.
When that was dry, I masked around the flower centers and splattered on some black acrylic paint...love how that just brought the flowers to life.
I randomly stenciled on the background with drywall tape using Spun Sugar Distress ink and rubbed the masked edges with it a bit too.  I stamped the Letter Background script from PB in the bkg using Grey Memento ink to add some depth then stamped the sentiment from the Treasured Sentiment set.





Adding my card to these challenges:

    Wow ... am loving your combination of watercolour spritzed flowers, stenciling and splattering. Those black splatters really do add something special to the flowers. Beautiful card Karen! xx

    Sigh. This is my new favourite KD card, mf! I love the balance and depth you've achieved with the soft stencilling, the background text, the beautifully coloured flowers and leaves, and the foreground sentiment. And the black splatters - perfect! Oh, and thanks for playing along at Craft Stamper! :)
