Hello Crafters, Kia back with you today bringing you a card that I made for this blog.
When I was thinking about what I wanted to do, I only knew I was feeling “pastels”, which is rare for me. Usually I go for the vibrant colours. But it is cold today and Pastels have a way of making me feel warmer. Strange, I know!
For this card I am using Picket Fence Studios Wild Rose, which I think looks fabulous with the Pastels, hence the cards name.
I am using Gina K Design Ivory cardstock for my base card, where in my Misti I stamped the image using VersaFine Clair Ink in Nocturne. I then removed the card base and replaced it with a piece of Tonic Watercolour A2 card stock and stamped the image again, using the same ink. I normally would do this after I had the ink down, but I wanted to know where the flowers would be for adding my colour. I then die cut the piece using my Stitched Rectangle die.
For the background of my watercolour cardstock I am using Distress Oxide Inks in Squeezed Lemonade, Worn Lipstick and Cracked Pistachio. I made puddles using the inks in the same order as above, and spritzing with water then dabbed the card stock in the puddle in puddle, repeating with the Worn Lipstick then the Cracked Pistachio drying between each addition of ink.
Once dry using Kuretake Gansai Pearlescent watercolour paint in Pink, I added splatters to the card panel.
I added fun foam to the back of the panel using my Scorpal/Be Creative tape and affixed the piece to my card base. I then stamped the sentiment using VersaFine Clair Ink in Glamorous and went over the sentiment with some Wink of Stella, then finished up with a scattering of sequins affixed with Nuvo Adhesive.
This was a fun card to make, and an easy card to make.
