Thoughts of You- Use Your Scraps

 


Good Morning
I seldom play along with sketch challenges, but yesterday I found one on Splitcoast Stampers that worked out for me to try.  You can see it below.
It is also a great chance to add another card to the series I'm doing called 
USE YOUR SCRAPS.

So here's what I did to create my card.
  • I looked through my stash of scraps and found a small piece of this orange cardstock that I had inked up on my Gel Plate with acrylic paint.  These smaller scraps can come in handy when die cutting a shape.  
  • So I die cut the Daisy from some white cardstock and set it aside, then cut it again using the leftover pieces of the orange and set them aside.  
  • The blue background was done on my Gel Plate using Distress Oxide inks (Salty Ocean, Peacock Feathers)  I simply pressed the pads onto the plate and blended together with my brayer.
  • After the print dried for a few minutes, I splattered with my white Posca pen.
  • When it was dry, I glued the die cut flower outline onto the blue background.
  • I glued the orange flower petals back into place on the daisies.  They really popped inside the white outline.
  • I stamped the sentiment in my Misti, clear heat embossed it and then pop dot mounted it over the bottom of the flowers.
  • I glued it all onto a white card base.


Here is what the sketch looked like:

Such beautiful bright colours Karen and a great way to use up your scraps by filling in these wonderful white daisies with the bright orange, and the blue background shows them off perfectly. x
