Misty Mood

Here is a wonderful layout to use when you have DSP that you want to highlight as a background for a smaller panel. I stamped the panel using colors from the DSP to pull the card together. Thoughts?

First, I adhered the DSP panels to a Basic Black matte.

I then adhered the largest panel to the Misty Moonlight card front.

Next, I adhered the square panel to the center of the card front.

I then stamped the Basic White panel, starting with the sentiment in the center and surrounding it with various images from the Wildflower Designs stamp set. 

Next, I attached the panel across the center of the card front, using dimensionals and adhesive.

Lastly, I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Silk Flowers

These Silk Flowers by The Paper Studio were gifted to me back in 2008. I decided to adorn this card front with them. Thoughts? 

Silk Flowers

Stamps:

   Simply Said (2024)

Paper:

   Tahitian Tide A-2

   Basic Black 4-1/8 x 5-3/8

   2022-2024 In Color 6x6 DSP 4 x 5-1/4, 3-1/2 x 4-3/4 (cut on Diagonal - makes 2 cards)

   Blushing Bride 2-1/4 x 1/2

   Punching

Accessories:

   Silk Flower Brads (The Paper Studio)

   Tear & Tape

   Adhesive

First, I cut the 3-1/2 x 4-3/4" DSP panel on the diagonal. I then adhered it onto the top-right corner of the 4 x 5-1/4" panel of DSP. (2 triangles = 2 cards)

I then laid out 4 of the Silk Flower Brads on the seam of the card from the smallest to the largest. Since, they fit fine, I attached the four flower brads on the seam of the card as shown above.

Next, I adhered the panel onto a Basic Black matte, and then adhered it on to the Tahitian Tide card front.

I then stamped and punched the sentiment on a strip of Blushing Bride card stock, using Tuxedo Black Memento ink, and the Banners Pick a Punch.

Next, I adhered the sentiment to the lower-left side of the card.

Lastly, I added a couple of 2022-2024 In Color Decorative Dots to the card front and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Watercolor Crystals

Pigment Sprinkles are fun to use on a background. Your result is always unique and sometimes surprising. The key is to use less sprinkles and no more than three colors at a time. Otherwise, you might wind up with a muddy background. Thoughts? 

Watercolor Crystals

Stamps:

   Hope & Prayer

Paper:

   Daffodil Delight A-2

   Basic Black 4-1/8 x 5-3/8

   Watercolor Paper 4 x 5-1/4

   Basic White 4 x 5-1/4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Pigment Sprinkles:

   Bermuda Bay

   Daffodil Delight

   Melon Mambo

Technique:

   Watercolor: Pigment Sprinkles

Accessories:

   Glitter Enamel Dots

   Adhesive

First, I sprinkled the Pigment Sprinkles onto the Watercolor Panel.

I then activated the sprinkles by spraying the panel with water. I moved the panel in different directions to get the ink to move, and I dabbed at it with a paper towel. I continued to either sprinkle a few more sprinkles or apply more water, depending on the panel. I then left it on the table to dry for a bit. 

Next, I added the dry panel onto a Basic Black matte and then onto the Daffodil Delight card front.

I then stamped a cross on the top of the card and a sentiment toward the bottom, using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.

Lastly, I added a few Glitter Enamel Dots to the card front and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Here is another card I made, using the same products:
