Hello everyone!
It’s time for a reminder card for the latest Flower Challenge with the theme ADD SPARKLE ! Yes, we are already the half way through the month of September! How fast the time flies by!!!
I added sparkle to my reminder DT card using some golden thread and sparkly gold rhinestones. I once did watercoloring using the layering stencils and loved it so much. So I tried it again with another stencil set. This time I used the Gleaming Poppies layering stencils by The Ton.
I watercolored the Gleaming Poppies on some watercolor paper by watercoloring through the stencils. I used darker colors for the higher layers of the petals and leaves. After the coloring was done I cut the stenciled image using the coordinating die and then drew the outline with black Micron pens. The black outline gives the image the whole definition.
I foam mounted the image on a black cardbase and cut the excessive parts off. The sentiment from the Easy Expressions set was stamped in Noir and heat embossed in gold. I made a nest out of some golden thread for the sentiment strip and scattered a few Bright Gold Opaque rhinestones to finish off the card.
Hope I was able to inspire you to play along!
Please stop by The Flower Challenge blog to see all the inspiration cards from our guest Donna Mikasa and my team mates!
Thank you so much for looking!
