The background was made with the same defective photo paper LOL! 3 shades of Whispers ink were sponged on the paper... the ink takes a while to dry on this paper ( drying is usually quite speedy making this ink hard to work with on most paper I have tried) so the colours blended together very softly. After it dried enough ( this noob must remember to heat set!) I stamped over with a stamp I designed for Stamp Attack Art Stamps ( Doodles - TM Design).
The scalloped rectangle is made using the Fiskars Threading Water border punch but I covered up the holes with the white embossed CS. The flowers were coloured with the Magic Colored Pencil technique and were edged with sunburst Stickles glue.
I plan on putting a sentiment in the middle by printing the text to resemble a thin white strip of "ribbon" on a diagonal between the flower groupings.

I spent the day playing with my blog and learned alot about creating & adding backgrounds and playing with the margins ( wrappers in html lingo). I nearly gave up and still not sure if I like it but, now I have a very good idea how to tackle another design overhaul. If the design hurts your eyes, please let me know ROFL!

very pretty flowers, love the swirls, neat idea to hide the holes in the punch for your rectangle!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your new blog layout! Give me any shade of purple/lilac/mauve and I'm mesmerized :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card, I think I will have to steal the layout, it's just great. The stamped doodles look fantastic. I am still hoping my doodle stamps are not lost forever and will arrive eventually.
It's so good to see you back and in full blast. :D
