I'm playing along with Just Add Ink again as I needed a birthday card and I spotted their sketch to inspire me.
I started with some Tim Holtz Watercolour Paper and a Heidi Swapp stencil through which I applied some Texture Paste in a random fashion. Once that had dried I used various pink and mauve shades of Distress Inks to watercolour around the dried paste.
I then took a piece of white cardstock and gold heat embossed a background stamp from Hero Arts and cut it to a banner shape.
Using the same Distress Inks I used on the background, I stamped and diecut images from Stampin' Up's Flower Patch set. After applying the ink, I spritzed the stamps a couple of times with water to create a looser look to my stamping.
I gold heat embossed a sentiment from the Flower Patch set and cut it into another banner shape.
A loose nest of gold thread and some gold sequins were the final finishing touches.
This was a fun card to make as it's not my usual clean and simple style, but I know the recipient will love it :-)
