Distress oxide ink was applied straight to card and sprayed with water-then I stamped script with a large wooden stamp from Stampabilities-which I have had for years---then applied white gesso through a circle aperture.
Flowers were stamped onto card then twice onto a piece of card swiped with same ink and fussy cut the flower heads and 3-D them after adding pencil shading to the petals(rather hurriedly as forgot before I stuck down!!!)
A piece of card cut to make vase and embossed with three layers of ultra thick embossing powder and stampe a wotd into from an AALL &Create set-the flower stamps were from CAS-UAL Fridays.
The stamped sentiment and little Bee were from Chocolate Baroque.

Your slightly skewed vase adds to the whimsy of this card, Carol. Love that large text stamp - you can't beat a good background text stamp - I have a few, too. Unusual flowers - I thought they were Paperartsy, but obviously not.I like the Gesso circles. Tracy's vids are brilliant, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteLovely - I like that shade of blue, too - one of my fave shades ;-)

A beautiful card Carol! xx
ReplyDeleteThis is just wonderful! I actually thought when I first looked at it that there was a piece of blue fabric - you've made such an interesting effect with the inks and gesso and the way you have used them. Thanks for joining the Lost Coast Design Challenge!
ReplyDeleteI love how you achieved the layers with your supplies and tools and this turned out just gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty card Carol and I really love the stamps. Tracy's fb lives are fab aren't they? I've just been doing her gel press class this morning and its part two tomorrow - love it!!
ReplyDeleteYour card looks amazing, I love the colour and all of the techniques you have incorporated to produce this effect. Really pretty flowers and your stunning background. I have been crafting for a very long time and sometimes - well more often then I would care to admit these days, I see something which I had forgotten about, a technique which looks amazing but no one seems to be doing anymore, like stamping into UT embossing powder. Doesn't this look fabulous?
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend, try to keep out the rain!
