Sending a Smile

Hello everyone, I hope you are doing well.

We are still in packing mode here but I have another card to show that I created recently (before my craft studio was packed up) using Heartfelt Creations Tattered Flowers and Creative Expressions Leaf dies.


The background was created with Distress Inks & water, stamping with water, stenciling with white paint, sprinkled and heated white embossing enamel and gauze painted with Gesso.   I also stamped the background using Design by Ryn's Circle Cluster stamp set.   The sentiment is by Chocolate Baroque but it seems to be discontinued.    Using glue, I added a little Prills and glitter here and there.

The flowers were coloured with Distress Inks, spritzed with water and molded on the back with a stylus and foam mat.


Thanks for your visit, have a great day,
Shirley

This is beautiful Shirley and I love that colour combination and the circle cluster stamping and the gauze stencilling and white paint spatters look great in the background, and love those pretty flowers and leaves perfectly shaped to give wonderful dimension. Hope the rest of the packing and move go well. x
