Hi Everyone
I am doing something a little different today over on the Topflight Stamps blog – I’m using a Lovely Lace Texture Plate from Carabelle Studio with my Gel Press to create a lacy mixed media style background. I paired it with IndigoBlu florals for a little bit of no line watercoloring.
To create my card, I first coated my Gel Press with Paperartsy acrylic paint in Wisteria and Amethyst (keeping one on the top and one on the bottom and blending them together) using a brayer. I then inked up the texture plate with dark purple dye ink (I used Grape Crush by Catherine Pooler Designs) and pushed the texture plate into the gel press. I then laid over some copy paper and lifted the print.
I trimmed down the print and backed it onto white cardstock and added it to a white note card with a thin strip of gold mirror cardstock. I also flicked some gold shimmer spray onto the background.
I stamped the three florals from the gorgeous IndioBlu Nature III set in Seedless Preserves Distress Ink onto hotpress watercolor cardstock and then coloured them with my Umiko watercolors. I trimmed them out and went back round the edges with Seedless Preserves with an ink blending tool. I popped them up on foam tape onto my card.
The sentiment is also from same Nature III set which I stamped on vellum and heat embossed in white and then adhered it to the card. To finish I added some Fairy Wings Dream Drops and purple sequins.
Have a wonderful week everyone!
