Hi everyone. Sharing a card I made with bits and pieces from my leftovers ... along with a sweet little die-cut flower that I got from my dear friend,
Joanna ... a long, long time ago. :) Isn't it sweet??!! And it fits perfectly in the little scalloped square. I watercoloured the flower and for the background, used some leftovers from our rubber band technique we did a few months ago. Just done with rubber bands around a brayer and inked with versamark and then heat embossed in silver. I stamped and silver heat embossed the sentiment to match.
Here's a close-up ...
... and I "winked" the flower and leaves with Clear Stella, which didn't show up on the photos above. Here's a super close-up so you can see just a little of the sparkle.
Thanks for stopping by!
Stamps: Many Everyday Sentiments (Hero Arts)
Paper: Watercolour for flower die-cut (gift); White (Neenah 110 lb. card stock)
Ink: Distress Inks: Abandoned Coral, Shabby Shutters (Tim Holta); Versamark
Accessories & Tools: Scalloped square frame - "do not open ..." die (Penny Black), Silver embossing powder, heat tool
that little silver leftover background is so pretty for your cute little sparkly flower, Loll!!
