Hi again! I hope you're having a great day! Yup, I'm back with a second post today. For this one, I have a card made for the current color challenge at Fab Friday, using Soft Sky, Lost Lagoon, Hello Honey and Crumb Cake. Love this mix! I also used a prior sketch from Freshly Made Sketches for my layout (FMS234).
I started by doing a Soft Sky color wash with an Aqua Painter on a panel of water color paper. When that was dry I stamped the flower in Archival Basic Black then colored the petals in Lost Lagoon and the stem in Crumb Cake. When dry, it was masked off so the honeycomb image could be stamped in Hello Honey on the right edge. Finally, the sentiment was inked up in Lost Lagoon.
A strip of designer series paper and the watercolor panel were layered on a slightly larger piece of Soft Sky, wrapped with a piece of Gold Cording Trim, then attached to the Crumb Cake Base. It seemed to lack that last bit of "umph", so I colored the flower stamens with Gold Wink of Stella, then added splatter spots in Encore Gold on each side of the flower.
Thanks for taking a look! If you're a mom, I hope you're having a wonderful Mother's Day! As always, your visit and comments are so appreciated. For some great inspiration, be sure to use the link above to visit Fab Friday.
Until next time....
Hugs,
Stef
