Hi crafty friends!!
Here today to share a card I created for the Sparkle & Shine Challenge.
I just fell in love with inspiration picture for this challenge the orange of the flowers are just so striking and bright. Orange isn't a color I use often or at all really so I was excited to try something new and I actually like the way it turned out quite a bit!
I started with watercolor paper and used Spiced Marmalade Distress ink for the orange splatter. I did this by using the "smooshing " technique. I smudged the ink pad onto a plastic sheet and spritzed with water and then smooshed it onto my paper . I stamped my bouquet of roses from the Delightful Day stamp set from Clearly Besotted on a separate piece of watercolor paper and colored in using my Zig clean color watercolor markers. I cut my image out and tied some bakers twine around the stems. I used some polka dot pattern paper I had in my stash and added some skinny black strips of card stock at the edge of my pattern paper.
I finished the card by adding some sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.
That's it for today. Hope you all have an awesome Friday and an amazing weekend. I'm off camping this weekend so that should be fun hopefully.
Thanks for stopping by!!
