Hello lovelies!
Welcome to my second post for the March Challenge "Mother´s Day" at Country View Challenges!
I made another card. As I liked the first one very much, I wanted to make a second one with slightly different supplies.
This time I used again a layering stencil from Tim Holtz, floral THS077 and used modeling paste to bring the pattern on the paper.
When it was dry, I took infusions, magenta and bit jaded. I mixed a small amount with water and brushed the colours on my page. This way I had some more control where the colour would go. I added some layers and dried between. Lastly I sprinkled some colour to the clean right side..
I wanted to seal the surface and tried out the Transparent Wax from Stamperia. I smeared it on the surface with a dry cloth - and it worked very well! ...and the card smells very good now =).
I stamped the text with a very old stamp, coloured the cardstock with the leftover infusions, cut it out, matted it and adhered it with foam tape to the card.
To make it even more elegant, I brushed some golden metallic acrylic paint (DecoArt Extreme Sheen 24KGold, my favourite golden metallic paint) and added some spritzes at last. Then I glued it to a gold matallic card.
I hope, you liked my cards and feel inspired to make something beautiful for your mum too!
Thank you for your visit today!
Evelyn this is absolutely beautiful! I've never really got on with infusions, but they look gorgeous here. Take care and have a lovely day, Sue xx
AntwortenLöschenI do like the Vintagey/Distressed look you've achieved here. One technique to remember!
