Hi friends!
We have a new fun challenge at Inkspirational with a 'Numbers' word prompt. I have some number dies I could have used... But I just didn't find a fun way! So in the end I went with a stamped numbers background.
If you are familiar with this Waffle Flower flower stamp that I used as my focal point then you know there actually is a miniature lady relaxing in the center of the flower... This time I decided to hide her with butterflies and sequins. Would you have guessed something is hidden there if I hadn't told you? I've used rose gold embossing powder for heat embossing my images and water colored the images with DIY shimmer water colors: I mixed some perfect pearls powder and some inks on acetate and went to town. The shimmer is really subtle but it is there -the powder actually changed the ink colors a little bit so this was a fun experiment!
Please head on over to our challenge blog for all the challenge details and lots of more DT inspiration.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Nonni! I love the subtlety of the background numbers stamp and the colouring is beautiful - even better IRL I imagine! And your sentiment seems to have worked - we have a little sunshine today after a crazy week including snowing, lightning, lashing rain, and wild winds! Kate x
