Look at all that texture - isn't it so dreeeeammmy? Ok, I'm a little bit of a freak for texture and I found a really awesome combo that I WILL be using again (and again and again).
How did this happy circumstance come about, you ask? I'm glad you asked.
Take a look at this STUNNING inspiration image from the new The Card Concept challenge.
There are so many ways to be inspired here. If you haven't played at The Card Concept yet, it is fab. The design team is made up of card artists who span from clean and simple to mixed media and everything in between! So no matter what style of cards YOU make, your designs will be ogled and admired!
Now let me show you how I made my card!
I rubbed some Dina Wakely gesso onto a piece of kraft cardstock with my fingers and then stamped some grunge.
Next, I added a layer of Ranger texture paste through the STAMPlorations Dots All Over stencil.
And over the top of that, I drizzled some Dusty Concord and Tattered Rose Distress Spray stains.
I used a concentrated spritz of water over the top of my drizzle lines, and let it drip down the page.
Over the top of that I added some FaberCastell Glass Bead Glitter Gel. And ohmygoodness guys! This is the first time I've used this glass bead glitter gel and I'm in <3 <3 <3! It's so sparkly and adds a GREAT texture.
Over the top of my mess, I added some gauze ribbon that I pulled apart and then I added a vellum sentiment overlay (this sentiment is from the Verve Button Best stamp set.
Definitely gaga over this one, so I'm not even sorry for the picture heavy post!
I'm going to link up my design to these awesome challenges:
