Whispy Dreams

Sometimes, I make a card simply to meet a challenge. This challenge called for me to use acrylic paint. I grabbed three of my favorite colors and created the background. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Blue Skies by Verve

Paper:

   Fresh Fig A-2

   Watercolor 5-1/4 x 4

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

   Fresh Fig

   Whisper White Craft

Acrylic Paint:

   Bright Yellow

   Bright Blue

   Purple

Technique:

   Acrylic Paint

Accessories:

   Basic Rhinestone Jewels

   Adhesive

I painted the watercolor panel with the acrylic paints: Bright Yellow, Bright Blue, Purple.

After it was completely dry (it doesn't take long at all), I stamped the butterfly and the sentiment, using Tuxedo Black Memento.

I stamped some swirls in different directions to fill in the background. I used Fresh Fig, Whisper White Craft, Bright Yellow, and Bright Blue. To me, the swirls give the card movement and makes me think of wind. 

Next, I added some Basic Rhinestone Jewels to the butterfly and adhered the panel onto the Fresh Fig card front.

Lastly, I added a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Foiled Again

Can you believe this background was made using foil paper from my pantry? I do like the texture and the look of the background. What do you think?

Stamps:

   Blue Skies (Verve)

Paper:

   Lovely Lipstick A-2

   Whisper White 5-1/4 x 4 (2), Scrap

   Aluminum Foil

Ink:

   Archival Basic Black

   Lovely Lipstick

Technique:

   Die Cutting

   Dry Embossing

   Sponging

Accessories:

   Tin Tile Embossing Folder

   Stitched Labels Framelits

   Basic Rhinestone Jewels

   Sponge

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I wrapped a Whisper White panel with foil. I placed it inside of the Tin Tile embossing folder and ran it through the embossing machine.

I then adhered it onto a Lovely Lipstick card front.

Next, I stamped, die cut, and sponged my sentiment. I attached it to the center of the card front using dimensionals. I added a rhinestone on each side of the sentiment for a bit of sparkle.

Lastly, I adhered the other Whisper White panel to the inside of the card.

Rain Dance

Watercolor Embossing Resist is the name of the technique used on the Color Me Irresistibly Designer Series Paper. 

Stamps:

   Beautiful You (SU)

   Blue Skies (Verve)

Paper:

   Island Indigo A-2

   Color Me Irresistibly 5 1/4 x 4

   Whisper White 5 1/4 x 4

Ink:

   Soft Sky

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Markers:

   Island Indigo

   Pool Party

Technique:

   Watercolor

   Watercolor Embossing Resist 

Accessories:

   Aqua Pen, Adhesive

All I had to do with this Color Me Irresistibly DSP was to cut it to size. Watercolor on it with my Soft Sky. Let it dry. Then wipe it down with a paper towel and watch the raindrops pop out on the paper. I then stamped my Beautiful You dancer and the sentiment from the Blue Skies stamp set. I used my Island Indigo marker to color in her dress and hat. The Pool Party marker was used to color in the puddle underneath her feet. I then wiped these down to make sure the raindrops came through. I was so excited about this that I did not pay attention to the direction of the raindrops. Oops! I think it is fine. What do you think?

Thank you so much for stopping by here. I appreciate your time and your thoughts. 

HAPPY STAMPING!
