Hello Everyone!
Thank you for peeking in for Today’s Card!
Today’s Card is for the
As You See It #179 Challenge!
Here is the Challenge!
I tried 3 times to mimic those pansies and totally failed!
I ended up stamping the daisies instead.
I water-colored the background (I used alcohol) to mimic the photo!
Here is my Card!
I filled the Aqua Painter with Rubbing alcohol and then squeezed the Ink Pads
to get the ink on the inside of the lid. Squeezed some alcohol onto the lid, mixed
with the ink, picked up the ink and brushed rapidly, back and forth, to cover the
front panel. I used that technique for both the sky AND the grass!
Here is the inside of my Card!
I brought the 3 colors together for the inside too!
Stock and Measures:
CARDSTOCK:
Basic Black-card base, 8.5″ x 5.5″ score @ 4.25″ fold in half on the score
Whisper White-front and inside panels, 4″ x 5.25″ and a scrap piece to stamp the daisies
Garden Green-a small piece to cut out the stems for the daisies
STAMP SET:
Daisy Delight-daisies on front and inside, greeting, inside sentiment
INKS:
Flirty Flamingo-daisies on front and inside
Crushed Curry-daisy centers
Memento Tuxedo Black-greeting, inside sentiment
Granny Apple Green-alcohol and ink brushed grass
Balmy Blue-alcohol and ink brushed sky
TOOLS:
Big Shot-die cutting machine
Bouquet Bunch Framelits-stems on card front
Daisy Punch-for the daisies on card front
Aqua Painter-filled with rubbing alcohol for the water-colored effect
If you use alcohol…wipe out the lid when finished. You want to preserve your ink pad!
Here is my Card again!
I have to say, I like the brightness of this Card!
Until the next Post…Blessings and Daisy Love to you ALL!
Your card is very bright and cheerful! I like the partly fallen daisy – very sweet. Thank you for joining us at As You See It Challenge this week.
Very cute card. Those pansies would be seriously hard to duplicate, so you took the better route, I think! Thanks for joining us at As You See It!
