Hello, friends and welcome back! This is the week of sneak peeks but unfortunately the postal service is still running a bit behind and my package of fun has not arrived in time. But the rest of the design team will be knocking your socks off this week!!
I chose to use the Let’s Flamingle Stamps and Dies for the focal image on my card today. I adore this set!!
But let’s have a look at that background first, shall we? I used the Cracked Stencil with some white embossing paste onto a panel of watercolour paper cut with the 2nd largest of the Layered Rectangles A2 Dies. I recently purchased some India Inks and this is the first time trying them out! I dripped a teal and a fuchsia colour at the top of the panel, sprayed water and let the colours run down to the bottom of the paper. I love how it followed the lines of the stencil!
I decided to gold heat embossed the flamingo and sentiment. I forgot how difficult it was for me to photograph metallic embossing powders. So, I’m so sorry if the quality is poor. To keep with the watercolour theme, I used my Tombow Dual Brush Pens for the colouring.
I foam mounted both the flamingo and sentiment then added a few glittery, gold sequins from my stash.
And that’s all from me today!! Have a great rest of your week and enjoy all the fab sneak peeks!
