today, I would like to show you this card with shiny DIY faux enamel dots:
- stamp Stampendous Bluebird Branch with Resist Chalk Edger (Attic Dust) on watercolor paper, color the image with Derwent Graphitint Pencils and a waterbrush and the background with Distress Re-Inker (Tumbled Glass)
- use kraft cardstock as a cardbase and create a backround with patterned paper from the Pebbles Front Porch 6x6 paper pad
- stamp the sentiment from Clearly Besotted Stamps Sweet Little Sentiments with Versafine Onxy Black on a strip of wood veneer cut into a banner shape
- mat the watercolor piece on some burlap
- at this point, my card felt a little empty in the top portion and that made me search for a solution: I punched out three little circles from the same blue patterned paper and formed them into some faux enamel dots with an embossing stylus; I coverd them with Wink of Stella Clear Glitter and Glossy Accents and ready were my subtle but very pretty custom-made embellishments
I would like to link this card up to the following challenges:
