Colourful Smiles

Good Morning

Hope you are having a great day.

I found this colourful background in my stash and wanted to try and use it in some way.  

I got some new stamps before Christmas and this fun Leafy Leaves background was calling to be tried on a card. 

So here's what I did to create my card.

• I bought some Bleeding Tissue paper on Amazon after seeing a video online using it.  So super simple to use.  The package I bought had a lot of tissue in it so it will last quite awhile.
• I cut a piece of white cardstock, then tore pieces of the tissue paper and laid them all over my cardstock randomly but being sure to cover all the areas.
• I liberally sprayed the whole panel with the tissue paper on it with water and pressed the tissue securely against the cardstock. 
• I set it aside to dry completely which takes awhile since you need a good amount of water for the colour to transfer.
• When it was dry, I took off the tissue paper and revealed these lovely colours.
• I placed the piece into my Misti and stamped the Leafy Leaves from Simon Says with some Versafine Clair black ink.
• I splattered the whole thing using my black and white Posca pen.
• I die cut the sentiment in white and the outline for the sentiment from the panel.  
• I glued the white sentiment onto the cut away shadow and let them dry.
• I glued the inked cardstock onto a heavy white card base and pop dotted the sentiment back into place.
• I glued the little heart over the sentiment.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
