Hello Friends! I hope your weekend has been great so far and you've managed a bit of "me" time! I did find some "me" time today and created 2 cards; one I'm sharing with you now, the other you'll have to wait to see on the 15th of February for the Beautiful Blossoms February Challenge.
I had a play with my Gansai Tambi watercolors and created a pink panel with a hint of yellow. I didn't try to hard to create a perfect panel, I just let the watercolors run and have fun mixing.
After the watercolor panel was completely dry, I stamped the outline of the flowers all over the panel. This is a layering set so using just the outline stamp, it gave the flowers that Artsy look.
While staging the panel on the cardbase, it looked too busy for the Thank You sentiment die (also from Altenew) to be visible. I decided to trim the panel using a fancy edged die from My Favorite Things. I've saved the other half to use at a later time.
I've embossed a white panel using a Swiss Dot embossing folder (this folder has been in my stash for a very long time - I think it may be from Cricut) and adhered the half watercolor panel on top. I painstakingly applied itty bitty pieces of foam tape behind the die cut sentiment for dimension. It was a labor of love but worth it, the sentiment looks great popped up.
Lastly, I've added clear sequins for the sparkle and shine that I love. That's all I have to share today. Hopefully I'll find more time at the craft table before this weekend is over. Until next time, Happy Crafting!
Donna
