I needed a break from all the paper work that happens after a spouse's death, so what better way to relax than to create a card?! I pulled this leftover background of layered stamping paired with Liquitex light modeling paste and a dot stencil. I clear embossed a large echinacea and used an aqua painter brush and some distress inks to color it. I'm entering this into the The Paper Players tic-tac-toe challenge using the vertical row of die cut, stenciling and layers.
STAMPS: Patient Echinacea, Spring Collage Tag (Creative Worship Stamps); French Market (Tim Holtz Visual Artistry Collection by Stampers Anonymous).
INK: Squeezed Lemonade, Fossilized Amber, Shabby Shutters, Peeled Paint, Peacock Feathers distress inks; Versafine Clair Nocturne (pigment ink).
PAPER: Watercolor paper; True Black, Stampers Select White (Papertrey Ink).
DIES: Tag & More, Patient Echinacea
OTHER: Dotted stencil; Liquitex light modeling paste; Brads.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting! ~Wanda
The mixed media background you created is so eye catching and a perfect landing spot for that fabulous echinacea! It's a wonderful design, Wanda. Thank you so much for making time to share with us at the Paper Players.
ReplyDeleteI'm also so sorry to hear of your husband's passing. Take care in this difficult time. xx
Beautiful, Wanda! The backgrounds you create are always so eye-catching and full of interest. This one makes the perfect backdrop for this bold flower. Thank you for playing with The Paper Players this week. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
