Well I enjoyed myself so much using Zig Watercolour brushes on vellum in the last challenge
that I decided to do just one more Floral card using the same technique. So I am going with
May 2018 Vellum/Acetate as I used Vellum or Dec 2016 Using old stamp as I've had this stamp for quite some time now or July 2017 Embossing as I Heat Embossed or even August 2017 Focus on Background as its a Background Floral Stamp.
Hows that for previous challenges covered.
Here I have used something old and something new as I have had this background stamp from
The Ton called Morning Glory Garden Cling Background for quite some time. I have stamped and heat embossed on watercolour cardstock, copic cardstock, multimedia cardstock and vellum. My zigs did not work well on the watercolour cardstock and ruined the piece I was working on. The multimedia piece is half finished and waiting for inspiration and was put aside.
The idea for vellum and zigs came today and I am in love, I love the look. Again no water, three colours each pulling the next to add the movement. I added the panel nearly complete to a white card base. I splurged recently on the large letter words also from The Ton so today I have used the 'You're amazing'.
I die cut in gold glitter paper and pink fun foam. I added double sided tape to the fun foam before die cutting and left the letters in the original piece of foam, used tweezers to remove the backing tape then added the gold glitter letters. After that I added glue to the back of the funfoam and let it dry enough so that it was tacky and could be placed without making a mess.
A few sequins finished the design off. It doesn't look half as brilliant as it does in real life I tell you, I am wrapped, such an easy way to colour this background stamp and I am looking at that pale pink and already thinking of other ideas.
Now we have a wonderful Guest Designer this month, Stef from Perry Papercrafts
