Welcome
Before I share my news I want to welcome Becca Morris Sadler as my latest follower - she has a blog here if you would like to pop over, say hi, and admire her work.
My news is that I have been invited to be part of the Word Art Wednesday design team.
I accepted and this is my first card for them!!
The background for this was made sprinkling Lindy's powders on water colour paper, then spraying them with water. They give a lovely, iridescent, sheen to the background.
The stamped images, from Darkroom Door include florals and leaves, and were painted with a wash, made from the same powders, and then fussy cut. They also have a slight sheen.
I gave the flower the some dimension by rubbing the centre over a soft pad, then glued some gold micro beads there for added texture.
This scripture is the freebie over at Word Art Wednesday this week, and I mounted it, slightly off set, over some black card.
This photo gives some idea of the shimmer - I also added dimension to the leaves by scoring them on a soft mat, and then only attaching the stem to the card.
As I will be using this for a friend's birthday, I stamped the sentiment on the inside, and added a strip of very sparkly washi tape (Part of a RAK from Mia of Craftartista)
