Woop! Sarah Berry is back with her Strawberry Sketches! Yay! So of course, I have entered it (I have flipped Sarah's design on it's side) & I've also taken inspiration from the colour scheme over at Just Add Ink, & Kim Badelt's card in particular. I have been trying to improve on my watercolouring skills & while my rose still needs a little work, I'm really happy with the background I've made, so I hope you like it, too! xx
I have used a Thick Whisper White cardstock base with a layer of Watercolour cardstock over the top. I Aqua Painted the Watercolour layer in Pumpkin Pie & Daffodil Delight. After it dried, I added more water to it to make some areas lighter. After it dried again, I flicked it with Blushing Bride & Pumpkin Pie Stampin Write Markers & also the Gold Wink of Stella Pen.
I have added a layer of retired Botanicals Vellum, a banner made of Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper & finally my rose from the the Birthday Blooms stamp set, which I have double inked in Versamark & Basic Black Archival & then set Clear Heat Emboss Powder over the top with the Heat Tool. I have watercoloured the roses in Blushing Bride with the Aqua Painter & fussy cut. There is some Gold Metallic Thread behind the rose, as well as some Dimensionals & I put a couple of the Gold Metallic Enamel Shapes on, as well. The Grateful sentiment is from the Designer Tin of Cards stamp set & is inked in Basic Black Archival.
I have stamped the envelope & inside the card with the rose from the Birthday Blooms stamp set in Blushing Bride. I have also flicked the inside of the card with Daffodil Delight & Pumpkin Pie Stampin Write Markers. The For You sentiment is also from the Designer Tin of Cards stamp set & inked in Basic Black Archival.
Here are the Strawberry Sketches Challenge, Just Add Ink Challenge & Kim Badelt's card:
