font-size: medium;"> Hello Again!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Today for you I have done a simple card using the beautiful papers from Little Birdie Crafts. I knew I wanted to have a play with these watercolor type images from this paper pack from the day I got it! Take a look at what I've created and I'll tell you more about how to do it :)</span></p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGIZlZyQ-pFSQDhgWAlWHW_SbmvIFiWCpJAm48wO_8r0hrC2ehHosqIKFgI_i8BdQtam3V5EMowPPz5s3D55AE5O0QmVmoMA96ciuHUSL1wcK2jy4oAduEP06G1G__GWLnMC1_ET-OAs2U/s1482/3.JPEG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1482" data-original-width="1414" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGIZlZyQ-pFSQDhgWAlWHW_SbmvIFiWCpJAm48wO_8r0hrC2ehHosqIKFgI_i8BdQtam3V5EMowPPz5s3D55AE5O0QmVmoMA96ciuHUSL1wcK2jy4oAduEP06G1G__GWLnMC1_ET-OAs2U/w610-h640/3.JPEG" width="610" /></a></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">To start, I chose three of the designs that sort of coordinated together. The pack is called Floral Ballet and it has a great selection of small florals, large florals and different combinations of each. It also has a few pages of large floral watercolor images & some sentiments and greetings in coordinating colors.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaUXyfgdusNqWIrblOZ4uT7MFgfzXyd81v0OB-ZVTF8Dfo1vgR5LoMi3CzRkKH_WnJDMaqinVPrf0ALT8lqtamt9Jix0fL-MNsvapakAIIkArl7HYKT08Jv5FzmHw9t65K-n-BxdiyueZM/s1672/1.JPEG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1672" data-original-width="1254" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaUXyfgdusNqWIrblOZ4uT7MFgfzXyd81v0OB-ZVTF8Dfo1vgR5LoMi3CzRkKH_WnJDMaqinVPrf0ALT8lqtamt9Jix0fL-MNsvapakAIIkArl7HYKT08Jv5FzmHw9t65K-n-BxdiyueZM/w480-h640/1.JPEG" width="480" /></a></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Once I selected my paper patterns, I grabbed a stitched rectangle die from my stash. I decided to highlight the colors in the papers towards the center and the greenery towards the outside but really so many possibilities with this idea! I used tape on the backside of the strips of paper so that when I ran everything through my die cut machine so my end result would be a stitched single piece in the end.</span></p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggEu9zjaoElmQAieqO0nmQ54cuPjgIV4UDWutOke34gPM7XcfM4cRNn3tMbQ9DULdcY7q02IQxtARJLDwOC6W94BPuHgdK3At_gDIpbfq5lju8ttQcmvMz1BElXGXiMXpYdumI47S5ZwoM/s1672/2.JPEG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1254" data-original-width="1672" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggEu9zjaoElmQAieqO0nmQ54cuPjgIV4UDWutOke34gPM7XcfM4cRNn3tMbQ9DULdcY7q02IQxtARJLDwOC6W94BPuHgdK3At_gDIpbfq5lju8ttQcmvMz1BElXGXiMXpYdumI47S5ZwoM/w640-h480/2.JPEG" width="640" /></a></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">I played a little to figure out the best background mat color to use with this stitched paper rectangle by trying out different colors from the Chevron Aquarelle paper pack. So many gorgeous colors in this pack and I have nearly used it all in my projects this past year! I chose the lovely purple color because the center panel on my card has just a hint of that color.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA0frdB3MenXLh96K3eJHezjhhHHDqOk6Ye1rLGrCkVHJ_41LZEqJUGO-Z6Xb9szk_J1zcNoXDmuFIpFDhA8Hm-VL8hNfmiiFgH2EStW-iHj9Vyh9eEN80g07O86v-AvDJFKfLgnxvlDzq/s1672/4.JPEG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1672" data-original-width="1254" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA0frdB3MenXLh96K3eJHezjhhHHDqOk6Ye1rLGrCkVHJ_41LZEqJUGO-Z6Xb9szk_J1zcNoXDmuFIpFDhA8Hm-VL8hNfmiiFgH2EStW-iHj9Vyh9eEN80g07O86v-AvDJFKfLgnxvlDzq/w480-h640/4.JPEG" width="480" /></a></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Then I went to work die cutting my greeting. I chose to use the lovely Alphabet Fun thin cut dies from LBC. I did not want to keep them plain white so I opted to paint them after I diecut two sets of letters. I did two because I wanted to be sure they held up to the paint. I adhered them to each other with liquid glue and then popped them up on dimensional tape to the front of my card.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGIZlZyQ-pFSQDhgWAlWHW_SbmvIFiWCpJAm48wO_8r0hrC2ehHosqIKFgI_i8BdQtam3V5EMowPPz5s3D55AE5O0QmVmoMA96ciuHUSL1wcK2jy4oAduEP06G1G__GWLnMC1_ET-OAs2U/s1482/3.JPEG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1482" data-original-width="1414" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGIZlZyQ-pFSQDhgWAlWHW_SbmvIFiWCpJAm48wO_8r0hrC2ehHosqIKFgI_i8BdQtam3V5EMowPPz5s3D55AE5O0QmVmoMA96ciuHUSL1wcK2jy4oAduEP06G1G__GWLnMC1_ET-OAs2U/w610-h640/3.JPEG" width="610" /></a></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Then finally, I added some of those 3D Pearl Drops in Candy Glaze to add a little something to finish off my card. I hope you enjoyed my project today and I hope you're inspired to look at your paper collection in a different way :)</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;

font-size: medium;">Today for you I have some lovely watercolor painted flowers using the Bloom Vista Stamp set from Little Birdie Crafts. I tried to jump out of my comfort zone and do something a little different with my card base by choosing a neutral color and background.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1672" data-original-width="1254" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-xZSnCVDngEPB_sGhV1zMZx5TLG_ODcPhPARxXKHRR06Ov3Q14KSUSfBBFjxe5AuQFqj6JmxfvuzTv3E6GVbtnvXxaj0pnxc-r03HtHiDOMlPr7Q6sbpI5tQPgU5gaY-rwu_vJtOKFriN/w480-h640/SHXG8348.JPEG" width="480" /></span></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">To start, I chose the sticker from the Floral Birthday Wishes embellishment pack. I knew I wanted to incorporate this color scheme into my card so off I went to stamp and watercolor.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1672" data-original-width="1254" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK7GKd-fOctQ-se6MnVBBYMSXSjYdej1AJrxdjJx5ntZ5NRbPr8jvJ3Yr4CEperv3icUp736VLdCmze5eo3GlWX2o5Kmtx_dwEMdUHjcVsjY3OVp-iTKEYtBajtHDN7Nt39cCycPrfZHOh/w480-h640/EUCH3135.JPEG" width="480" /></span></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">I wanted to share my watercoloring two ways. First, I painted all the images using the Watercolor Pan Set. I mixed colors until I had shades I was happy with. Then, I added some black colored pencil on top for some additional shading. You can see the shaded version in the left side image. I really liked how it added some dimension to the flowers and made them appear a little less flat than just watercoloring alone.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1375" data-original-width="1524" height="578" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjkYRpiUH28IhOtBSVVS4jMAn7nq2cfsLr4_Z-s8S4Nh4a0CPXBsbKOqXnTc1zSXP_asuR7OkkSSd69y7LrtlsVaqeoTyOoToqNTDBDHmo6k6FdpJBRsTsO2_nkZ6rR3UFVqODrwYO5RIi/w640-h578/FODJ3032.JPEG" width="640" /></span></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Once all the flowers were painted, I then die cut them out using the coordinating framelits that come with this stamp set. I went to figuring out my design next.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1672" data-original-width="1253" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhobeIKjeRYIue7n1xjssVEWvqKgJSQXt-7-JffrNC9oYpc6Lc9ZoqbNiMrahJQVvLMYR7AFxAlhhCQ5K8po2OuVcBsIaqN4DNCNiGLdgEk3Bfk_tLrWIn40ZdgTK-1px9zHThIjBWJ5to8/w480-h640/VZCH2813.JPEG" width="480" /></span></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">After laying the pieces down on my brown card stock, I felt that I needed just a bit more interest to make the flowers pop off my card. I went for the Chevron Stencil and some Chalk Paint. I mixed the Charcoal, Walnut Cream and Orange Splash paints until I had a brown shade that I liked. It's subtle but I think adds that little something I was looking for.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1672" data-original-width="1254" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSajg1NawRKjvmV_xpe86Yn21Omd0J-mbAgVt6jk2wnpKEFjjXdDAycLi0Lyyh-2pQ3CB8xW5NHDqzM7cT_zGm6R3miR9hTwXaZXDqabHbmUe09qfVxdroFK3H4DyoAiNAwW6jbcsGzr9m/w480-h640/KPGN3241.JPEG" width="480" /></span></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Once I was ready to start gluing, I started adding foam tape on parts of the design to give a real 3D effect. I left some images flat and used liquid glue, some items one layer of foam tape and a few images two layers of foam tape. I also let a few elements overhand the edge of my card for effect.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1672" data-original-width="1254" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvY0n1ygdKP0OZB-Zru0aw6hJjgI4lEMQCJDpiLwk3p4uIY1xSrT7A-cIc5EtbfW76aH6ZhPte4Q1xHWo2O9UIdf_UACQHg7KpHuR4rjdOm6Rc1Sh5j_3z6rIbPdVU-41OSma5xexR-wXC/w480-h640/FJUT0850.JPEG" width="480" /></span></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">I had a lot of fun planning this card and really enjoyed seeing my end result.

font-size: medium;">I decided to create my project today using the wonderful Watercolor Pan set from Little Birdie Crafts. I used it for a soft background, to make my green paper for the leaf element and as an ink to add some accent leaves. </span></p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO7wz7d-lV2I8njWgJzwwsuJTY2qz5gHIRhlwOAqnxbh9ULCT8BckHB6xyUrYKP8B4N3DY68wxc21C99u5R_rUtxWezmb8bqVGzaAglSZiwFW_bYhecWBWkAEVjYKzcn9jX6KjVSH5ex9n/s1648/%25233.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1272" data-original-width="1648" height="493" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO7wz7d-lV2I8njWgJzwwsuJTY2qz5gHIRhlwOAqnxbh9ULCT8BckHB6xyUrYKP8B4N3DY68wxc21C99u5R_rUtxWezmb8bqVGzaAglSZiwFW_bYhecWBWkAEVjYKzcn9jX6KjVSH5ex9n/w640-h493/%25233.jpeg" width="640" /></span></a></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">To start, I took a piece of Arches Coldpress Watercolor Paper and used some really light shades of green paint to start building a subtle background in the lower righthand corner of my card. I had already picked a few papers from the Purple Passion 6x6 Cardstock pack and knew the tones I'd need for my design. I started trimming and tearing the papers I had set aside. Once I had an idea of what I wanted to do, I punched the focal butterfly piece and also added some Sparkle Paste in Mulberry to the back piece with the postage image.</span></p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfOQk-hJQ3agvmicTEIsx5MR5dxMFIk5VSt6SbJ6DDlYstJgtRgwZPIhxHyeI3cP2oMt6uhe4k21O3SXtzANUxxhtULnLsVG1JzU2__BwBmYE0-YVroUulgkW7OhG_B8ywzOKSLKWGRcCd/s1672/%25232.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1254" data-original-width="1672" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfOQk-hJQ3agvmicTEIsx5MR5dxMFIk5VSt6SbJ6DDlYstJgtRgwZPIhxHyeI3cP2oMt6uhe4k21O3SXtzANUxxhtULnLsVG1JzU2__BwBmYE0-YVroUulgkW7OhG_B8ywzOKSLKWGRcCd/w640-h480/%25232.jpeg" width="640" /></span></a></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">I used dimensional tape to add my layers together and also some of the purple paint to dirty up the butterfly circle so it wasn't too perfect. I knew I needed a bit more green on my design so I took a leaf stamp from the Shine Bright stamp set and added some leaves using green watercolor paint that I picked up off my palette. I just smooshed my stamp into the lid of the container and used it like an ink.</span></p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsd3Q5lD56Kts1ULgP8LenQqmzG3-ux-yCwH-W61ssQlPhasb8wM1C24xo08lgypM3kIYgTohcgMW7IHlyXtCAyBurvEhzTxBYJ-JCyc7hT-S7QeyFP3uGAh1EtypHXRCn8bpa5B028fuw/s2048/%25237.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsd3Q5lD56Kts1ULgP8LenQqmzG3-ux-yCwH-W61ssQlPhasb8wM1C24xo08lgypM3kIYgTohcgMW7IHlyXtCAyBurvEhzTxBYJ-JCyc7hT-S7QeyFP3uGAh1EtypHXRCn8bpa5B028fuw/w640-h480/%25237.jpeg" width="640" /></span></a></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Then I painted some watercolor paper in different shades of green so I could have a leaf element to put in behind my original design. I didn't want my project to look too blue/purple. After painting the paper, I cut it using the die from the Bloom Vista stamp and die set.</span></p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgziiDZbSmQZ2q-cYEG7GKjd8btEPu1UxHS-1p3SM2P3gg4v-fPSvGGIxs_4rWSL2v6w8DiYYrI3eA1DjjpUvvsFSW1D7O_p2c6OllSTjvKRyzrpyOX_d_RceqRWjaD0AsmO5P8VU0Ei-t4/s1672/%25236.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1253" data-original-width="1672" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgziiDZbSmQZ2q-cYEG7GKjd8btEPu1UxHS-1p3SM2P3gg4v-fPSvGGIxs_4rWSL2v6w8DiYYrI3eA1DjjpUvvsFSW1D7O_p2c6OllSTjvKRyzrpyOX_d_RceqRWjaD0AsmO5P8VU0Ei-t4/w640-h480/%25236.jpeg" width="640" /></span></a></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">For my greeting, I took this adorable multi-font design from the stamp set Butterfly Kisses and stamped it using Memento Black ink. It's a bright and bold black ink - perfect for greetings!</span></p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsQK8ZwvsnJoKFe9biIuzxy2gDubT0rsOi9GALpfEIJFouHAtYqxClSS6WwN1p0Vb7Or2jdls4gLFy_pTyLRo_xIMSxuYJRI8Mf6PyuP_SS7t28snBBCJIpyidv2UxtmUJIfh_bjL7wCNg/s1672/%25235.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1254" data-original-width="1672" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsQK8ZwvsnJoKFe9biIuzxy2gDubT0rsOi9GALpfEIJFouHAtYqxClSS6WwN1p0Vb7Or2jdls4gLFy_pTyLRo_xIMSxuYJRI8Mf6PyuP_SS7t28snBBCJIpyidv2UxtmUJIfh_bjL7wCNg/w640-h480/%25235.jpeg" width="640" /></span></a></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Lastly, I took some of the Mulberry Sparkle Paste and I thinned it out using some water and a stamp block. I used the end of my paintbrush to flick some on my design. Luckily I remembered to use a little post-it note to mask the majority of my design so the entire thing didn't get covered in Sparkle Paste. When I was happy with my splatters, I let it air dry.</span></p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjablxHBeQQqlVzCSox7i_2TOPU-T6UcQ-Xw8vjNcH0kf3fOFWxlnSqYdU_GviZlB7WZZEtM1IBc7i8xJbjpyJqBWSrW9z3EPqoqK-1CSH1dZLO8Y37gvZjTNQG-LyigJ8kyX21koIWm5Jz/s1672/%25238.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1254" data-original-width="1672" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjablxHBeQQqlVzCSox7i_2TOPU-T6UcQ-Xw8vjNcH0kf3fOFWxlnSqYdU_GviZlB7WZZEtM1IBc7i8xJbjpyJqBWSrW9z3EPqoqK-1CSH1dZLO8Y37gvZjTNQG-LyigJ8kyX21koIWm5Jz/w640-h480/%25238.jpeg" width="640" /></span></a></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">I hope you enjoyed my card today and that I've inspired you to get out your watercolors and maybe take a second look at your paper collection and take some creative time for yourself!

I have a mixed media card using their adorable Woodland Stories Embellishments pack.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjII9NJx4KWDl7_d-frxf4TKf1uyuHtsLZ4wtgesct4c3K9KtKOnN5vtPPXk3fY8_A6UYiIkTZHeTYREBJw9a8i2Oh0Rajn2yrr3q4S1XYSdoibO6ObckStEJgSeWx4H86G31OKBfff8iQs/s1672/%25232.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1672" data-original-width="1254" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjII9NJx4KWDl7_d-frxf4TKf1uyuHtsLZ4wtgesct4c3K9KtKOnN5vtPPXk3fY8_A6UYiIkTZHeTYREBJw9a8i2Oh0Rajn2yrr3q4S1XYSdoibO6ObckStEJgSeWx4H86G31OKBfff8iQs/w480-h640/%25232.jpeg" width="480" /></span></a></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">To start, I took a piece of the wood grain paper from the Texture Brew paper pack. I knew I wanted to do a layered and grunged up look so I took the wood grain paper and stamped on it in black ink using the Whimsical Garden stamp. Then I added some black in to the edges to give it a worn look.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0MpTsWWbY8k9QJsfcqvk8jAIneK7nqAhPHRsWfRsUPOWPRzpPJ1rchoAy8wDsnN6fpMg7qG7GSmuyN_46AMXJSErYrXVnUW76v_OuliAITH5pNR8dflOhmBt7j7wMs3c4ZO2MImylnVPW/s1632/%25237.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1632" data-original-width="1284" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0MpTsWWbY8k9QJsfcqvk8jAIneK7nqAhPHRsWfRsUPOWPRzpPJ1rchoAy8wDsnN6fpMg7qG7GSmuyN_46AMXJSErYrXVnUW76v_OuliAITH5pNR8dflOhmBt7j7wMs3c4ZO2MImylnVPW/w504-h640/%25237.jpeg" width="504" /></span></a></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">I hunted through the enormous pack of embellishments - they are all so gorgeous it's hard to pick only a few! They have this beautiful glittery accents on all the pieces and the little birds are so darn cute! Once I picked my tag to start, I started playing with making a scene that I liked, incorporating flowers and birds to go along with the colors I was trying to use in my project.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzK1e3_eqxjBY0S6wyghXTxAYM6iG419U6WnOWqd_M6hsR7La_ugqxxt2Ix9W4O0lJZ5XDBOoBtjEm7nVAJfJyoCiXTDqCu6L9DkaXhPSLTYODVxCZ1k6YtQltdFXWscoWVR-EMwUJZNdA/s1672/%25235.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1254" data-original-width="1672" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzK1e3_eqxjBY0S6wyghXTxAYM6iG419U6WnOWqd_M6hsR7La_ugqxxt2Ix9W4O0lJZ5XDBOoBtjEm7nVAJfJyoCiXTDqCu6L9DkaXhPSLTYODVxCZ1k6YtQltdFXWscoWVR-EMwUJZNdA/w640-h480/%25235.jpeg" width="640" /></span></a></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">I used a piece of white paper to stamp the sentiments from the Thinking Of You stamp set. I did the top portion in black and the "hugs" portion in heat embossed copper. I wanted the sentiment to really stand out.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv5UizM5tAdU3tjMESU9xXzhpSV-T4vW-hIKzlvZKxvRgX3eqLpH8ATKOhQ6T_OTVodIzeliDZGGqzLL1d7VLyP9AeM_gILSA-4OXDwHNBQxVkp_SFVo_U5eplyPgbOD1Yrh9FxcsFd8pD/s1672/%25233.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1672" data-original-width="1254" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv5UizM5tAdU3tjMESU9xXzhpSV-T4vW-hIKzlvZKxvRgX3eqLpH8ATKOhQ6T_OTVodIzeliDZGGqzLL1d7VLyP9AeM_gILSA-4OXDwHNBQxVkp_SFVo_U5eplyPgbOD1Yrh9FxcsFd8pD/w480-h640/%25233.jpeg" width="480" /></span></a></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">I layered all my pieces together and wanted the orange color to shine through so I cut a feather using the Thin Cut Metal Dies. I darkened it up a little using a green ink and a bit of the black. I also added some of the banners from the pack of embellishments so that I could spread my design out across my cardfront.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc8c0SZA2n7EV2AiCYkHWbdg7i6l9XIPmjRu7L0CFPbZ4hDaexU6oVt741H2YOm-qDl9Ac6lbvnil7_VAgkrnSInS7EBhVyA4v9UBC26smZBWLhv_Jn-G9vVRoJHmWJC7JAAOmpYbRS4wb/s1672/%25231.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1672" data-original-width="1254" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc8c0SZA2n7EV2AiCYkHWbdg7i6l9XIPmjRu7L0CFPbZ4hDaexU6oVt741H2YOm-qDl9Ac6lbvnil7_VAgkrnSInS7EBhVyA4v9UBC26smZBWLhv_Jn-G9vVRoJHmWJC7JAAOmpYbRS4wb/w480-h640/%25231.jpeg" width="480" /></span></a></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">After adhering everything down, I absolutely needed a little bling to draw the eye.

My card was starting to tell me it wanted butterflies so I used the Watercolor Pan set to add color to my images. I tried to mix colors that would look natural but also keep my color scheme going. I then tore around the edges instead of trimming them. This "imperfect" look feels great for this mixed piece. I sponged on a little ink around the edges so they wouldn't be stark white. I used dimensional tape to adhere the butterflies.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmckeJMHnmc2IcTFuY1veGkv3NVR5nD64fQgAtDJcZrAduJfq64v6YhYE7Vms_ds2cJCfu_f4HTJD4HHE5y6OFuc3durInl4OEyWVv4Aedg3zPCj778xy9CWw9Ycv-OypjOfpxKR9zLtJJ/s1672/IMG-2883-%2528W%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1672" data-original-width="1254" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmckeJMHnmc2IcTFuY1veGkv3NVR5nD64fQgAtDJcZrAduJfq64v6YhYE7Vms_ds2cJCfu_f4HTJD4HHE5y6OFuc3durInl4OEyWVv4Aedg3zPCj778xy9CWw9Ycv-OypjOfpxKR9zLtJJ/w480-h640/IMG-2883-%2528W%2529.jpg" width="480" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Lastly, I stamped the word Beautiful from the Butterfly Kisses stamp set.

font-size: medium;">I started with a piece of watercolor paper and added some subtle wash colors to the background. I knew I wanted to use this particular fairy from the cardstock pack and also the lovely Stitched Tag dies from Little Birdie Crafts. I started pulling shades and tones from the main image to get my design to be more cohesive.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYpo4VjPWZPjKxCrBTOQBHuV2IDSXtKb2TOP6xekQwBIXIM2MoGvCirbia1sJZYmkwo3LOoYU4AmKna46ATyYBSzATLH2n6Zl82OPT7VDa56dSzKbVmUg0mdZe5ND93WiXyoldCvrLj1d8/s1632/%25232.JPEG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1632" data-original-width="1224" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYpo4VjPWZPjKxCrBTOQBHuV2IDSXtKb2TOP6xekQwBIXIM2MoGvCirbia1sJZYmkwo3LOoYU4AmKna46ATyYBSzATLH2n6Zl82OPT7VDa56dSzKbVmUg0mdZe5ND93WiXyoldCvrLj1d8/w480-h640/%25232.JPEG" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">I then added a few feathers using the Little Birdie stencil and the reddish-toned watercolor paint from the Little Birdie Watercolor Pan set. I liked the idea of the feathers because I knew my sentiment was going to talk about flying. I used a light and dark version of the feathers to hopefully add some dimension and depth to the background.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJg8R5htntUIbGWI8tusWJc9_FuPh7K9GB8bmpIhLtz3O1Smzg2oHI43ABa4JqAZfILlXqXvq8A2GOUAzEmm9uy4rPHshGXXtCdylKpAwZT6cIjrZBKJDW5EyGmlZK_Q8-vEKdRQoUIpeM/s1591/%25233.JPEG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1591" data-original-width="1256" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJg8R5htntUIbGWI8tusWJc9_FuPh7K9GB8bmpIhLtz3O1Smzg2oHI43ABa4JqAZfILlXqXvq8A2GOUAzEmm9uy4rPHshGXXtCdylKpAwZT6cIjrZBKJDW5EyGmlZK_Q8-vEKdRQoUIpeM/w506-h640/%25233.JPEG" width="506" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">My sentiment comes from the stamp set called Butterfly Kisses that I think is very versatile. It also fit perfectly on my tag! Underneath my tag, I added a small strip of the butterfly paper found in the Fairy Sparkle cardstock pack. I added just a hint of Silver Glitz Metallic Wax to the edges so it wouldn't show the stark white edges.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT33IBz7-_i1zbLHXKk4YcwZFqj3Z_dISPa-jzyPqWiFq6ZlVEQnBiEEQwAEwWeK97ksLfoGJ1KxXGoc1cTfGuOERG6zIAYI1YjKKUFMc6IoQJZ3oAlfNz-eLwXgieQdZGkZ0gDlMXwKnf/s1560/%25234.JPEG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1560" data-original-width="1281" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT33IBz7-_i1zbLHXKk4YcwZFqj3Z_dISPa-jzyPqWiFq6ZlVEQnBiEEQwAEwWeK97ksLfoGJ1KxXGoc1cTfGuOERG6zIAYI1YjKKUFMc6IoQJZ3oAlfNz-eLwXgieQdZGkZ0gDlMXwKnf/w526-h640/%25234.JPEG" width="526" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">To give my card some additional dimension, I hand trimmed a tiny butterfly from the same type of paper and went around the edges ever so lightly with a grey Copic marker to hide the white edge. I then placed it with the wings folded up, right under the toes of our sweet fairy.

I also grunged up the green layer with some watercolor paint and more silver wax. I roughened the edges when they were still wet to give them a torn appearance. On the watercolor piece, I decided that some curled corners would look really cool so I used my wet brush and added that for texture as well.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWfa4N87PX0nn7h2e270PWwunuSoyINAn30gJojNYetAnaSeWIZrYqhR6vB4KC4bz2YnKWBtJa2Uwxgvc_iv3epqcOSTx_C2c3_H6iODbjNMHD1AzgpT4D1N-hxbsTy0IMcPbtRePsSe4b/s1632/%25236.JPEG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1632" data-original-width="1224" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWfa4N87PX0nn7h2e270PWwunuSoyINAn30gJojNYetAnaSeWIZrYqhR6vB4KC4bz2YnKWBtJa2Uwxgvc_iv3epqcOSTx_C2c3_H6iODbjNMHD1AzgpT4D1N-hxbsTy0IMcPbtRePsSe4b/w480-h640/%25236.JPEG" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">A little bit of sparkle from the Bling Fiesta Silver pack.

I've found the best way to make these in different sizes is to do them ahead of time on a craft sheet and let them dry. That way you can try out where you'd like to place them before gluing them down. Plus you don't end up with oddly shaped dots and you can try different colors to see what looks best.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw6X696qin9u4klzax_cKfYQYxhsdUaN9YywbRA0AEyWy8toi7lMoctpukBcBvP1xJ0YdQQn_kb27snSqXNN3lFRAjgRhLZVgwesM9IkcuFs5lQVsfI7R-7oguvPZFgBNSm54V5bz-DIJZ/s1632/LBDT+1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1632" data-original-width="1224" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw6X696qin9u4klzax_cKfYQYxhsdUaN9YywbRA0AEyWy8toi7lMoctpukBcBvP1xJ0YdQQn_kb27snSqXNN3lFRAjgRhLZVgwesM9IkcuFs5lQVsfI7R-7oguvPZFgBNSm54V5bz-DIJZ/w480-h640/LBDT+1.jpg" width="480" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Here is my final card again.

I like to mix drop colors if I need a particular hue that Little Birdie doesn't have.

I stamped in Gina K Amalgam ink onto a piece of watercolor card. From there, I used my Caran d'Aache Neocolor II Watercolor Pastels. Mostly I used them from a palette and picked the color up with my brush that way but for some of the darker areas, I did go direct from the tip of the crayon using my wet brush to add color right to paper. I really like how you can change the hue and make blends of color to match your project easily.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhot9RCYZYTyWjEYVf7vGnZZ-9m6SKRL72WZUKcqx4ouqwaX8bdITGmkYeHQbrThFWNlBV3wCIhJY94EvHDhUwT8Ww30t3FAJFXE8hr5vDbVYlVnqpMspBk2gHioBGhJuDPutcF2oLMpyQg/s1632/LBDT+%25232.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1632" data-original-width="1224" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhot9RCYZYTyWjEYVf7vGnZZ-9m6SKRL72WZUKcqx4ouqwaX8bdITGmkYeHQbrThFWNlBV3wCIhJY94EvHDhUwT8Ww30t3FAJFXE8hr5vDbVYlVnqpMspBk2gHioBGhJuDPutcF2oLMpyQg/w480-h640/LBDT+%25232.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><p></p><p><br /></p><p>I painted the silver part of the bulb with the Metallic Paint in Silver Charm to give the realistic look of metal.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP9T1jpA5szpE_akylUUwXPAduNuZ6l4TCLnR-7VgA8-GzmdBsw__AWPHUQ5oTHaGg0j4E_EJXC1I3eLMuu53mH9OME0zyrqumpBq9Jqd62Nh_PQsy4KL5BjzgYA53y_3eIld4-uqO4jjq/s1632/LBDT+%25237.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1632" data-original-width="1224" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP9T1jpA5szpE_akylUUwXPAduNuZ6l4TCLnR-7VgA8-GzmdBsw__AWPHUQ5oTHaGg0j4E_EJXC1I3eLMuu53mH9OME0zyrqumpBq9Jqd62Nh_PQsy4KL5BjzgYA53y_3eIld4-uqO4jjq/w480-h640/LBDT+%25237.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><p></p><p><br /></p><p>After the painting was done, I used an oval framelit to cut out my shape and then I inked the edges a bit with some Spun Sugar Distress Ink so I didn't have such a stark white piece.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibK4hxDi3DmQ09j5bRdvdA0uQs7r__ULnv1Wd6QqADfidExEZmVdqnT9IpzFtFNXRIU9ofsqN5JKSmsEhHXYckLdCiWJpAz2yBmLt6Z6aodiqSpnljM8m-INBqB3mHhSBW3FdyYgI-moKF/s1633/LBDT+%25233.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1633" data-original-width="1224" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibK4hxDi3DmQ09j5bRdvdA0uQs7r__ULnv1Wd6QqADfidExEZmVdqnT9IpzFtFNXRIU9ofsqN5JKSmsEhHXYckLdCiWJpAz2yBmLt6Z6aodiqSpnljM8m-INBqB3mHhSBW3FdyYgI-moKF/w480-h640/LBDT+%25233.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><p></p><p><br /></p><p>My base was made using a piece of cardstock from the Little Birdie Chevron in Aquarelle Linen pack that I again inked the edges of but this time, I used Mermaid Lagoon Distress Ink.

I learned something new recently where you take ink that has been diluted with water and you transfer it using a piece of plastic to your project. I adore the "outside the lines" feel that it gives.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAlfxLaKqoSa-oHH7hrLrNONDlOCdw0YOcblcDbPHqEaar4EdeQXCp1-5N_5zQGTFIl6taQ9xJ93XH4MFGZQCVl5hnsPp7OsvyBOU2dhuGiWFnk1IXE5hJUwRXt1IwN-MT95cwjV8ySfxX/s1632/LBDT+late+pic+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1632" data-original-width="1224" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAlfxLaKqoSa-oHH7hrLrNONDlOCdw0YOcblcDbPHqEaar4EdeQXCp1-5N_5zQGTFIl6taQ9xJ93XH4MFGZQCVl5hnsPp7OsvyBOU2dhuGiWFnk1IXE5hJUwRXt1IwN-MT95cwjV8ySfxX/w480-h640/LBDT+late+pic+1.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><br /><br /><p>For my card, I used this fabulous background stamp from Little Birdie Crafts called Whimsical Garden. The line art design of this image is very appealing to me and lends itself to many creative uses. Here I heat embossed the design using Versamark ink and black embossing powder.</p><p><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8WY8UESf95qIdXsv-bo0Qgn-M8PPf0gOAbDDr9yWldazu7XiIWXx_kP5sX9wb9KRCmsFGoTld395Gt2ERwzKTHR_x8Ck8lp8iSMKlLaKnpwY4YsJ3bUnsoqUEeEn55WShRSqHBqQ8wXse/s1632/LBDT+late+pic+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1632" data-original-width="1224" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8WY8UESf95qIdXsv-bo0Qgn-M8PPf0gOAbDDr9yWldazu7XiIWXx_kP5sX9wb9KRCmsFGoTld395Gt2ERwzKTHR_x8Ck8lp8iSMKlLaKnpwY4YsJ3bUnsoqUEeEn55WShRSqHBqQ8wXse/w480-h640/LBDT+late+pic+2.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><p><br /></p><p></p>I then took several colors of Distress Ink and layered them on my design, drying in between colors so I wouldn't get too much of a muddy blend in any one place.

I mounted my background to a piece of turquoise paper from the gorgeous "Songs of the Sea" 6x6 paper pack and brushed some ink on the edges of that cardstock in the color Mermaid Lagoon. Then everything got glued onto a piece of black card stock.</p><p>For the greeting, I used one of the stickers in the embellishments pack called "Good Time" and because they come in a natural and white color, I brushed some ink on the white are that would accent the light green I used in my background. I also added some of the Metallic Wax in silver glitz to the outside so that my greeting would blend in with my card. </p><p><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPtQpkDUwcKHt4AbE15nSGvrOPzkgnIr_TjxMG5e5WMZsqVm7Mm3TQioxDVpqmBGOqfHbY4m3rz8GmnCOc0VCZLmLtWbIclj9I2VvLaD8wpcrHqlMyeIzQVRv202X3ML2Bc-26bwwVYTve/s1718/LBDT+late+pic+4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1718" data-original-width="1164" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPtQpkDUwcKHt4AbE15nSGvrOPzkgnIr_TjxMG5e5WMZsqVm7Mm3TQioxDVpqmBGOqfHbY4m3rz8GmnCOc0VCZLmLtWbIclj9I2VvLaD8wpcrHqlMyeIzQVRv202X3ML2Bc-26bwwVYTve/w434-h640/LBDT+late+pic+4.JPG" width="434" /></a></div><p><br /></p><p>Lastly, just a few drops of the Pearl Drops in the color Candy Glaze and my card was complete.

Once the color was on the stamp, I lightly missed the stamp with water and then stamped it down. </span></div><p></p><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2tZayQOebV-B2pOZxrHYitRAA4QUtF4ndJ6z0uCDu_Bab9VpfKM1hGQ-Km4p-5ZRbPzEGxuT4F77ci3TzJXaI9Mm9ZTjmSoSF8y8PtQOl9h9DIbiXHn1kFD_QbvKtrMC0UjAz2ScnkqEQ/s462/LB+Blog+Post+BFK+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="462" data-original-width="347" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2tZayQOebV-B2pOZxrHYitRAA4QUtF4ndJ6z0uCDu_Bab9VpfKM1hGQ-Km4p-5ZRbPzEGxuT4F77ci3TzJXaI9Mm9ZTjmSoSF8y8PtQOl9h9DIbiXHn1kFD_QbvKtrMC0UjAz2ScnkqEQ/w480-h640/LB+Blog+Post+BFK+1.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p>I used a little extra pigment and made a few washes of color around the border to take some of the stark whiteness off the image. I heat set everything with my heat tool. After trimming the piece down, I then roughened the edges with a distress tool but you could also use a bone folder or ruler to do the same.</p><p>I added some chalk paint to a piece of turquoise cardstock and layered my stamped piece on top. The pink wood grain paper is from the Boho Dreams cardstock pack. I brushed on some of the Silver Charm metallic paint to "weather" the wood a little more.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDvE5M3gMg1W2treZiUe-y7pSn_OjIZ3lrBs7iaMoNeOX9jg7beQOrAFJqiXPDEG8D1jNyrojHZ3H7YYdpf7p5NZQ07L_0TiuW_REC-hKX0XXC2SeHX82e8pUy07yjaCL9gW8WDfqv_yzu/s1632/LB+Blog+Post+BFK+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1632" data-original-width="1224" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDvE5M3gMg1W2treZiUe-y7pSn_OjIZ3lrBs7iaMoNeOX9jg7beQOrAFJqiXPDEG8D1jNyrojHZ3H7YYdpf7p5NZQ07L_0TiuW_REC-hKX0XXC2SeHX82e8pUy07yjaCL9gW8WDfqv_yzu/w480-h640/LB+Blog+Post+BFK+2.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><p>Lastly, I heat embossed my greeting from the stamp set in purple embossing powder.

Emboss the paper, with a stencil??? YES!!! I learned this in an online class I took recently. I'd never done it before and I LOVE the results it gave me! I sprayed the stencil with a solution of Gesso and soft blue chalkboard paint by LBD. Then I placed the stencil on top of my watercolor paper piece and then I ran it through my Big Shot with a rubber mat to letter press emboss the whole design. Pretty cool, huh? I especially loved how it was lighter at the top and darker at the bottom....very much like the real ocean!</p><p><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuc8gE6oWy6MQJ3XnvhF-ArizQrkK9SuJHSnjLIdFjy5hxB_VIt8HNJYsX3VXslZGTyIqGfZnDQW0qjbO2zwLOMwCiqn5SAgy8J-OeSWO9aIQntgnkVS25GI-9sgVnN2zDmcKNJq6tacnz/s1773/LBD+%25234.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1773" data-original-width="1127" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuc8gE6oWy6MQJ3XnvhF-ArizQrkK9SuJHSnjLIdFjy5hxB_VIt8HNJYsX3VXslZGTyIqGfZnDQW0qjbO2zwLOMwCiqn5SAgy8J-OeSWO9aIQntgnkVS25GI-9sgVnN2zDmcKNJq6tacnz/w406-h640/LBD+%25234.jpg" width="406" /></a></div><p></p><p><br /></p><p>After adding all that to my card base, it needed a little something more so I added a piece from the Songs of the Sea Ephemera pack.
