Just Imagine

Good Morning

Meet today's card.  Not my usual kind of card but I love how it turned out.

A few weeks ago, I attended ScrapFest and picked up a few stamps by Lavinia.  They have a very whimsical, mystical look to them and I thought if would be fun to try them out.

So onto my card.

I began with a circle mask from A Colorful Life Designs.  I am loving all these masks and find I am using them all the time.  I attached it to my plain white cardstock with some low tack tape. I blended  inside the circle with some DOX inks in greens and blues, (all colours listed below), blending until the bkg was covered with ink.  Next, I placed the Flowers Gone Wild stencil from A Colorful Life Designs over the circle mask and sponged over it with some darker shades of DOX inks keeping the blues at the top and greens to the bottom.  I lifted some of the colour on the background by shaking on a bit of water and dabbing it up with a paper towel.  I love the interest it adds.

I placed the piece into my Misti and stamped the flowers and the fairy then heat embossed them with some clear powder to help make them pop.

I stamped the sentiment then added a doodled border to the pull the whole design together.

Finally, I mounted it onto a matching piece of coloured cardstock and then onto a plain white card base.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
