Make a Wish
The annual Dare to Get Dirty challenges have started at Splitcoaststampers! These fun challenges, all hosted by current and former Dirty Girls, are a big thank you to the many loyal SCS fan club members who help to support the site. If you're not a fan club member, you can find the info here. And, if you are, here's where you can find the challenges.
This simple star studded design fits two of yesterday's challenges. It also uses the current sketch from Retro Sketches. I started off by watercoloring a soft pink background onto a watercolor paper panel. After it dried, I stamped the "make a wish" sentiment from Lawn Fawn's Starry Backdrops set on the watercolored part in Delicata Golden Glitz ink. Then, I unscrewed the cap from an Angel Pink irRESISTible texture spray bottle and flicked a few dots of the liquid on the panel. I got a little more heavy-handed than I meant to and got more dots than I'd planned . . . The dots dried quickly and add a nice glossy and raised detail to the panel. I topped the panel with a trio of die cut gold stars, then layered it on a coordinating pink card base.
Materials Used:
Starry Backdrops stamp set (Lawn Fawn); Delicata Golden Glitz ink, Angel Pink irRESISTible texture spray (IMAGINE Crafts/Tsukineko); Pink Passion cardstock (Stampin' Up); gold paper (Target); watercolor paper, watercolors (Michaels); stitched star dies (Lil' Inker Designs); foam tape

Love the little touch of water color behind your focal image. Very soft and pretty!
ReplyDeleteI was llinking up my card to RS and saw your sweet card... just had to stop by and tell you I used the same star dies on my card. LOL! We were thinking alike! Love the water colored background and the paint splatters.
