STAMPlorations has some amazing challenges and last month I won the Sketched: Tulips stamp. I just got it in the mail last week and have been itching to ink it up. If you haven't checked out their challenges - DO IT! You don't have to use their stamps to play, and they give away some awesome prizes! If you do have their stamps, you can play in their never-ending Anything Goes challenge, which gives away a prize for every 50 entries.
I used a piece of light pink vellum and embossed the tulips in white and then painted them with some sparkly watercolors that my grandma gave me a long, long time ago. It created this lovely stained glass effect.
I layered it over some bright green polka-dotted vellum and added a little pink bling the corners and then stamped the sentiment in Distress Inks Picked Raspberries. It's an adorable little thank you card that will be sent over to one of my business colleagues who helped me out recently.
I'm also entering this into Eclectic Ellapu's Pink Team challenge - Flowers

ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind comment and I had to look at your blog and I love it! This card is so pretty and I have to try the stained glass effect. I looked at some of the others and you love working with paste. I do as well but haven't tried in a while and want to make another for the Eclectic Ellapu challenge. You have great talent!
