Smile Sunshine!

 

Hi There! For my blog post this week I thought I would try and use some pastel colours.... 

I began by stamping the Doodle Art sunflower in Memento ink then coloured it using Alcohol markers

On a 6x4 piece of mixed media card I blended Spun Sugar and Tumbled Glass Distress oxide. 

I placed the Circles 1 Big ones inkable over the inky background and blended a little Picked Raspberry Distress oxide in through it. 

I removed the inkable and used the same ink to stamp some of the stamps from Journaling Essentials #3 in the circles and around the edges.

I matted and layered the background onto a 5x7" card, then added the sunflower and a wordy sticker sentiment on foam pads. 

Here is the finished card again, which turned out a lot less pastel than I intended! 

I used:

Doodle Art Sunflower stamp set

Journaling Essentials #3 stamp set

Inkables: Big one Circles 1

Wordy Stickers 3

Distress oxide inks in Tumbled Glass, Spun sugar and Picked Raspberry

Memento Tuxedo black ink

Alcohol markers

5x7 card

6x4 piece of mixed media card

Coordinating card for matting and layering

Foam pads

These colours are not my usual go to colours, but I love the way it turned out! There is a brand new challenge over on the Bee Crafty Facebook group where the theme is 'Things with Wings'. I do hope you will come and join in the fun!
