Hi friends!
I'm here with my reminder card for the current TIME OUT Challenges 4th birthday challenge:
I'm using stamps from our fabulous sponsor Concord & 9th, the stamp set I'm using is called
I'm inspired by the word "love" in our quote: the flower cluster in my card is in a shape of a heart and surely the sentiment is for a beloved friend!
I've heat embossed the image with white powder on kraft (neenah) card and colored it with Zigs and and old Wink of Stella pen, filled with water. This gives the coloring a lovely shine. I was surprised how well the kraft card stock handled water -I was very light handed and maybe that helped but I got only minimal warping. I'm really in love with kraft card at the moment! I embellished the card with white and black paint splatters. The sentiment, simply stamped, is from the same stamp set.
I hope you'll now head on over to our challenge blog and see what our DT members and talented guest designer Claire have made for your inspiration!
I'd like to join:

This is so very pretty. Love that your flowers are in the shape of a heart, and the water coloring provides just the perfect amount of shading.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, the flower filled heart is so pretty. xx
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty Nonni - I love the vivid colouring on the white embossed craft. I never dare to try and splatter my cards after I've done them. The ink seems to get everywhere and I always end up ruining them! Yours is splattered to perfection though!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Nonni :-) I love the flower heart, so pretty, and your colouring on kraft is beautiful, the whole design is stunning! :-)
