Good Morning.
I wanted to make a card that made me feel happy so here it is.
I used some of my favourite stamps, one of my favourite techniques and my fav colour of course.
I began by creating the background using my latest new technique called Splash Watercolour.
It is so easy and fun to do using the Distress Oxides as they layer so nicely.
* for the best results in layering, dry each inking before slapping more ink onto your paper *
When my background was dry, I placed the stamps into my Misti, inked with Memento black and stamped. I did the same thing with the sentiment.
To create more of a 'collage' looking card, I randomly stencilled in the background using more of the DOX and did a bit of stamping with a mixed media stamp.
That's it.....feeling when done, happy!
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
