Happy New Year!!
Today, I have the pleasure of being the Guest Designer over at the
Seems my card was chosen a winner and they have asked me to play along with their colour challenge.
**edited....so sorry, seems like we got our wires crossed when emailing. I used colours from a previous challenge.**
So here's what I did to create my card.
- I began with a piece of heavy white cardstock and placed my Three Rectangle Shadow stencil over the panel.
- I got out some paint colours that were closest to the above colours of the challenge, then using a credit card, I dragged the colours over the rectangles in a random pattern. I dried in between the paint applications so I wouldn't end up with a bunch of muddy colours.
- With the stencil still in place, I added some black paint lines for interest with more paint and the side of the credit card. I think it just adds a little more interest.
- I removed the stencil and washed it before the the paint would harden on it.
- I placed the piece into my Misti and stamped the sentiment from Penny Black.
- Next, I die-cut the snowflake from Simon Says with some heavy white, then glued it over my painted panels. The center of the snowflake is a little star shape when you cut it out, so I used some more of the blue paint to colour it to match the background. I pop dotted it back into place on the snowflake and added a pink gem to the center.
- I glued the piece onto some blue cardstock, then onto a heavy white card base.
Well I think we are so glad to be moving on from last year.
Wishing you good health, much happiness and wonderful days ahead.
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
