Here is another card I made a while back using
Lenten Roses Pre-coloured set.
Some tips and ideas:
- to give your flowers some sparkle and dimension, try lightly outlining the flowers
with a clear glitter stardust pen then brush some glossy or matte gel
medium on the flower having your brushstrokes follow the directions of the petals. Looks so ethereal and pretty! The glitter pen mixes in a bit
with the gel
medium.
- for the embossed background, I painted the paper
with a blue craft acrylic paint and sanded the embossed edges. I also very lightly kissed distressed embossing
with a gold ink pad. OK be warned though, it seems easier to paint the paper before running through the cuttlebug BUT I remember having to pick a few blue bits off my embossing folder when I was done LOL!
- the lighter blue background is smudged chalks and pebbles pearlescent chalks.
Have a great week! I will be putting my nose to the grindstone drawing and going shopping for back to school supplies... eek! The summer went so fast :O
