Good morning! I've got a fun artsy-fartsy style card to share today, using lots of supplies from Simon Says Stamp, and branching out a bit more from my usual style! I had lots of fun creating this card!
This card started with my trying a random technique that sounded fun! I used one of the Rounded Hearts dies to cut from a panel of white cardstock, then used that as a stencil. On a panel of plain white cardstock (not even watercolor paper), I used my Gansai Tambai watercolors through the stencil. These watercolors function a bit as a gouache paint if you use less water, so I used a slightly damp wide paint brush, and 3 different colors to swipe over the stencil I created. I ended up with a touch too much moisture, so I didn't get as clean of lines as I had hoped for. Instead of giving up, I decided to run with that messy look! So I used a fine line Sharpie and drew some lines around the outside, drawing one as close to the edges as possible, one slightly inside, and one slightly outside. Then I added some black splatter to finish off the messy look. I loved how it turned out! I used a score board to add some scored lines for extra texture (hard to see in the photo), added a frame using A2 Scalloped Rectangles, tied arounds ome black and white baker's twine, stamped a sentiment from Loving You Bouquet, and finished off with a few Lilac Dazzling gems before adhering that entire panel on a coordinating cardbase created with Concord and 9th cardstock! Here are more photos of this fun and messy creation:
