It started with three colours, Peanut Brittle, Orange and Ladybug Memento inks blended over white card, then I added C.P .Limoncello over the Peanut Brittle

Then came some very old lemon mica spray, followed by Candle Light and Peppermint Stick mica sprays by TH.... I was having fun!!

Once dry, I had to stamp it to the right, not the left of the card as I had intended because of the design of the stamp – I then embossed the stamping.

I added some background stamping with a stamp from STAMPlorations using Caramel ink (the chicken wire one) and a stamp from AALL And Create with Lawn Fawn Crunchy leaf ink, I loved the result as it looks a bit like cobwebs.
I trimmed and mounted the feature panel over the yellow, added the ribbons and then mounted onto the base... then added the sequins and called it finished.

The inside was decorated with a trimming from the main panel, as was the envelope

Wow, wow, wow! I love this and can see why you had so much fun making it! I love the ink colors you used, they blended beautifully, the sprays that give that shimmer and shine-just gorgeous! The background stamping looks like this card has been around for a long time, kinda like when glaze crackles on an old vase or plate-love that look. I am so in love with this stamp as well. Not sure if it is two stamps or one, but I love the sentiment-we all need to live by this sentiment and I love the, what looks like, queen anne's lace flower and tiny butterfly. I definitely think you had loads of fun making this Maxine. It is stunning and I'm in love with it myself! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteGreat card. Great words to live by. Bright and cheerful. We need more of all of this in today's world.
ReplyDeleteHugs and Blessings,

Pretty card, I love the background. Thanks for joining in our challenge at Cardz 4 Galz Dawn S DT x
ReplyDeleteWow, what a beautiful card and what fun you had in creating. I love how the three colours of ink blended so well together. Peanut Brittle and Ladybug inks - what wonderful names! I am sure the Limoncello also worked its magic on these inks. It really is a lovely background. My words, you added more - what fun you had and how it paid off with such a gorgeous card.
