Yesterday's Ways to Use It challenge was to involve tissue paper. My tissue paper is the piece stamped with the script.
I just got Gelatos so I was playing around with them in making this card. First, I scribbled with several colors of gelatos directly on the flower stamp from Heartfelt Thanks, spritzed it with water, and stamped it on the white card stock.
I covered the background with gesso and then used a variety of gelato colors to create the background. I adhered the stamped tissue piece to the gelato background and then randomly applied texture paste here and there. To finish that piece, I sponged Momento Black all around the edges.
I used the stamp-a-ma-jig to line up the outline stamp with the flower image to just give it some definition. The white card stock was too bright so I used some cling wrap to lightly stamp So Saffron around the flower and tone down the white.
A little ribbon and popping up the flower panel, then I adhered it all to an Orchid Opulence card base.
This is definitely outside of my comfort zone but it was fun to create!
Thanks for looking!
