Hey everyone! I hope y'all are staying in (if you can - and for EVERYONE working in necessary jobs to keep us stocked with food and medicine, healthcare workers etc etc - THANK YOU) and staying safe!
I started this card over a month ago.....normally I make a card in one sitting (and then share it with you guys). This one just had one thing after another going on - but I saved the footage and the pieces and finally got it finished:
I white heat embossed MFT's Hydrangeas in Bloom stamp onto Distress Watercolor paper. I then used Nuvo Shimmer Powders in Violet Brocade and Falling Leaves to paint them in.
I pulled out my Glimmer Hot Foil system and used Prism Glimmer Foil and MFT's You Impress Me Impressive Die-namics. I haven't foiled anything in so long and it was one of those "ah-hah" moments when I pulled the foil away and just LOVED the result. Prolly going to be foiling all the things again soon 😉. I used the All About You wafer die to cut out the foiled sentiment before popping it onto my card with foam strips.
I used the Candy Stripes stencil on the background with some Slate ink, and white heat embossed a sentiment from the All About You stamp set onto some green card stock.
To finish off the inside of the card I inked up the Hydrangeas in Bloom image with Tombow markers, lightly misted it with water and stamped it on the inside of the card. I then stamped sentiments from the All About You stamp set with the Slate ink I used with the stencil and that was it!
