Happy Birthday Bonnie


Hi everyone.  Today is my good friend Bonnie's birthday (Stamping with Klass)! Happy Birthday dear friend!  I hope you are having the BEST day!! :)

I made the watercoloured background with just a few sprinkles of Brushos sprayed with water on mixed media paper.  I used some beautiful turquoise foil that I glued onto card stock (to give it some strength) and die-cut the leafy sprig.  I tucked the bottom of the stems in behind my frame and brought the leaves forward so they would sit outside the frame.  A simple stamped sentiment in soft gray doesn't take away from the main panel.

Today I'm playing along with the Mixed Media Card Challenge where the July challenge is Blue.




This also works for the Happy Little Stampers July Sketch challenge. :)




Thanks for coming by.  I appreciate your visit!!

    Your card is simply elegant, Loll! You have inspired me to take out my Brushos and play with them again. I love the foiled leaves...adds a nice, dazzling touch.

    Loll, This is stunning!! I love the turquoise foil look! Elegant but not overpowering. I went to the Add a little Dazzle site and did a search but did not come up with anything. Is there a slightly different name for that? I will check back here, so don't feel you have to answer me in 2 places (as you have been so kind to do in the past). Thanks!

    You really did a subtle background with your Brushos, Loll. I haven't seen one quite like it. The foil leaves are gorgeous and I see by the comment that Bonnie loved it. I'm not surprised.
