Hi There...
Last week I spotted a gorgeous card by the lovely Barbara at @btarayao, and it inspired me to get out my stronger colours of Distress Inks and get blending!
Firstly I blended the four colours on a sheet of Bristol Smooth, the blending didn't look that even, but then I splattered with water, then white and gold watercolours which make all the difference. I stamped with a deeper colour using a script background stamp which also gives texture as Barbara had done.
Then I used a rectangle stitched die to cut out the centre, adding a scalloped die to the back of the cut panel. I used 3D foam tape to adhere the panel back onto the centre.
I used some white card to diecut this gorgeous flower, which is an older Memory Box die that I've had for years, but thought it was right for this card. I cut it and layered 3 times to give depth. Lastly.. I cut a little hello word die from gold mirri and adhered it alongside the flower. I added the whole panel to a white card base and it was done!
Card Info:
Dies - Memory Box Hollyhock Stem, Sunny Studio Fancy Frames Rectangles,
MFT Stitched Rectangles, Altenew Sweet Sentiments,
Stamp - MFT Romantic Script

I really loved how this card turned out - and will no doubt be using this design again with other dies and maybe different colours... so thank you so much Barbara for the inspiration!
Happy Crafting...
