Rainbows and Stars

Good morning! Dropping by with a card I made for the Unity {be inspired} Challenge:


I went with the color inspiration for my card:


I had fun getting a little artsy and messy on this card! I stamped and heat embossed my image and sentiment using the November 2014 Kit of the Month on watercolor paper, then used a few different purple and blue Peerless watercolors to color in (messily!) from the bottom up. Once that dried, I added some sparkle by painting on some MFT Mix-ables Sheer Shimmer Spray over it. That just didn't feel like enough sparkle, so I decided to up the glitter a bit! I used my finger to roughly smudge Glossy Accents, also starting at the bottom and working up, then sprinkled with Tim Holtz distress glitter. SOOOO pretty and sparkly in real life! LOVE it! Finished off by just matting in black cardstock, then machine stitching to my card base of SSS cardstock.


Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful start to your week!
