I was so excited to see Alt&New has a challenge every month! I love their images and was thrilled that I had enough product here in Florida so I could participate.
I actually couldn't wait to start designing this card because I had an idea right away, which rarely happens.
I actually couldn't wait to start designing this card because I had an idea right away, which rarely happens.
The first thing I did was to create the striped background using Alt&New Classy Stripes Stencil, Crisp Dye Inks and Blending Brushes. Next, all stamping was done on watercolor paper with permanent dye ink.
My fun began water coloring the flowers to attain the challenge pallet colors and then painting the remaining leaves and sprigs. Sidenote: This card was intended to be vertical and I even took a phone photo of the placement of the diecut pieces in that orientation. However, when I was trying to imagine where a sentiment would go, I happened to turn the card to a horizontal direction. Voila! Tip: Adding the scallop border grounded the card. Cutting out parts of a sentiment and tucking them into the leaves worked within this busy layout.
Supplies Used:
Stamps: Beautiful Day Stamps & Die Set (Alt&New)
Papers: Watercolor (Arteza), Card Base (Hammermil Color, Copy, Cover)
Accessories: (Alt&New) Baby Pink, Magenta, Warm Sunshine Crisp Dye Inks, Watercolor Pallet (Alt&New 36 Pan Set), Classy Stripes Stencil (Alt&New), Scallop Border (A Muse Studio), Versafine Onyx Black Ink (Tsukineko), Foam Mounting Tape (Scrapbook Adhesives), Blending Brush (Picket Fence), Adhesive (Tombow Mono Multi Glue)
Thanks for stopping by!
