For my sneak peek at the October kit I'm giving you a look at two stamps (image and sentiment) and the sweet little tree dies. I started off by watercoloring my background with liquid watercolors in Pink and Indigo. Then I splattered the background with white metallic paint to give it a wintery look.
Next, I heat embossed the silhouette stamp in black embossing powder. I love how bold it looks against the background. Before stamping I did make sure that the stamp was placed in the center of the square I cut from a piece of white cardstock.
I stamped my sentiment using my Misti in black ink onto the card face. Then I added foam adhesive to the back of the panel and adhered it to the watercolored background. I die cut some little Christmas trees from white sparkle paper and added them to the bottom of my winter scene. I finished my card off by adding a few clear sequins and attaching the whole thing to a top-folding card base.
Beautiful card !
ReplyDeleteUsually I place my "centerpiece" on top of the white card, but this way, you created a frame around your image -- thank you for this idea !!
What a pretty pretty background, adding the splatters of white metallic was brilliant, I will have to store that idea for later, love it!!
