It's Your Day

Good Morning

Hope you are all doing well.  

I was recently at the lake for the day with one of my besties which inspired this card.

So here is what I did to create my card.

• The background is a Gel Plate print so I began by assembling my supplies; Gel Plate, brayer, acrylic paint and a piece of heavy white cardstock.
• I rolled on a few shades of blue and pale green acrylic paint onto the plate using my brayer.  It was paint from the Dollar Store so a very light bodied paint.
• I tore a strip of paper from some scrap and laid it over the painted background and took the print.  By laying the scrap paper on, when I took the print, it left a masked off area perfect for stamping onto.
• I set the piece aside to dry completely which didn't take long as the paint was a thin texture.
• When dry, I placed the piece into my Misti and stamped the bird.  I love how it looked blended in with the painted background.
• I left the panel in my Misti and stamped the sentiment. I clear heat embossed the image and sentiment.
• I added it to a heavy white card base and glued on 3 small black gems right under the sentiment.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
