What to do when it is wet, windy and cold? Put the heater on in the craft studio and get creating of course! That's the plan but where was the mojo, I needed something to trigger inspiration, so I checked out my favourite challenge blogs and BOOM, I had it:
I'd just opened up my latest order that contained the Bloom & Grow bundle, these colours would work.... now where are those ink pads? Search high and low, nothing so I went to my Stampin' Markers and before not to long I had my image coloured - using a clear block I coloured a little of the marker and then used an aqua painter to apply to the stamped image.
I was fascinated with the scalloped dies in this set - they are designed so that you can insert your die cut flower into the card, they don't cut all the way across your card front, how cool is that!
I stamped the lower portion of the Merry Merlot card base randomly using the same image as the coloured flowers using VersaMark to get the light Merry Merlot on Merry Merlot, then spritzed lightly with a spray of Champagne Shimmer Paint - you can see a hint of the shimmer in the photo below, it's so pretty in real life. I trimmed the Whisper White layer just below the scalloped insert and adhered on a layer of scrap that was corrugated embossed to give a little height.
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.
