We've got a new challenge for you at
Seize The Birthday, and this week our optional topping is Vibrant Colours. Purple and lime are fairly vibrant, aren't they? ;)
I've used some stamps by
Stamping Unicorn. I inked them with Distress Stains, stamped onto damp mixed media paper and let the colour bleed, spritzing extra water where necessary, and once it was dry I re-stamped the image for definition. After stamping the sentiment I diecut the panel, added some washi strips then mounted it onto purple card.
Pop on over to the
Seize The Birthday blog for some more fabulous inspiration from the rest of the team, and from our Surprise Party Guest,
Kim, and play along with us.
This is gorgeous, Shirley! Love the way you've added little accents of washi tape, Jo x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Shirley. Love the pretty flower and the washi tape accents.
ReplyDeleteVibrant? Yes. I happen to love purple and lime together!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely vibrant... and beautiful! Looks so good with the sketchy sentiment and washi accents.
ReplyDeleteYep, your purple and lime certainly are vibrant, Shirley ... and are gorgeous here ... the stain bleeding on that whimsical bloom is brilliant ... so deliciously dreamy! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteShirley I really like your imagery and take on the vibrant colours for your birthday card. I think that restamping the image after it's watercoloured is such a great step in making the image pop. Beautiful! Thanks for sharing your technique.
ReplyDeleteI am amazing by this technique and I really need to hive it a try. I love your card with the purple and lime.
