Spellbinders Monthly Die Club take 2!
Hi all!
I had to rebound from my last card...it was killing me! Since I had another die cut heart just sitting there, I decided to make a CAS card with it.
I've redeemed my self confidence and am entering this card in the Inkspirational, Hand Stamped Sentiments, AAA Birthday Cards, Simply Clean and Simple and the Flower Challenge challenges...there are little tiny flowers on the heart...can you see them?
It was very simple to make, just a little pink and peach watercolor paint blobbed onto the bottom right corner of my card front panel. This is a new cardstock brand for me and I'm experimenting with different techniques to see how it holds up. Water is a no go...the results are only ok, and it took forever to dry since it's 140 lb paper.
After the initial paint dried, I added a few splatters of the colors I used along with copper metallic watercolor paint. Can you see the shine?
Since I added the metallic splatters, a copper colored sentiment was called for. Altenew's Sweet Sentiment was small enough and gave me a birthday theme as well. It was finished off with some Copper Stickles.
I feel better having whipped this one out and officially consider myself kicked off the struggle bus for the day!
Have a colorful, struggle-free day!
