I have a card today for the January Essentials by Ellen Pinsights Challenge.
You could go so many directions with this one but I knew I wanted to go with the colours, do some ink smooshing and I wanted to go with a wedding theme. What I discovered is that I need to go shopping for a couple more Distress Inks--how could I not have Worn Lipstick? I inked up my craft sheet with Spun Sugar and Fired Brick, spritzed some water and smooshing my watercolour paper into it. It took a few tries before I got the tones that I was looking for.
I stamped, gold embossed and die cut some flowers from Bohemian Garden then my sentiment also embossed in gold. I adhered the flowers to the panel and added a few clear sequins--done!
I am also submitting this to Happy Little Stampers January CAS Challenge - Smooshing.
Always good to have a reason to go shopping! Beautiful card!
