Hello, so glad I've crafted today, I haven't been feeling the best for a number of days now, hopefully I'm about to turn the corner.
I was taking it easy this morning, wandered into my craftroom and really didn't know if I was going to make anything at all. I looked at my retiring items and thought "what to do?" I discovered I had a packet of Glossy Cardstock that I had bearly used, I played with that for a while, but nothing came together, I will have another play tomorrow I think.
I was packing things up (I like to tidy before I leave my room) then BAM! inspiration struck, yay! I grabbed a piece of Shimmery White cardstock and blended a rainbow of colours, I was much happier with the blended result than the glossy, then flicked/splashed it with water.
I left the water dots to do some magic (as the water droplets dry they "suck out" some of the colour, a really cool effect) and took my card base and an Aqua Painter and applied splashes to match the layout of the sponged colours. Next the Happy Birthday die cut - this die is retiring on June 3rd.
When everything was dried, I cut the sponged Shimmery White with a Rectangle stitched frame and layered onto the card base, then stuck down the sentiment, and lastly applied a layer of clear glue over the sentiment using the fine tip glue pen to create a glossy finish, but I couldn't stop there, I added some Iridescent Sequins for a tad more bling!
Thanks for visiting today, I hope you enjoyed viewing my project. Stay tuned for more inspiration and tips this month. If you live in Australia and don't already have a demonstrator I'd love love to be yours.
