Today was such a fun day for me... I got to stamp several cards! This card is for today's WT184, to use silhouettes, and also fits dirty girl's setp. central theme challenge CT0908- use lots of color, and Product and Materials focus- Sponging with Ink.
I stamped this image in VersaMark and embossed in black on an unknown parchment looking marbled paper in a soft yellow tone. I then sponged So Saffron all around the center of where I wanted my sun, and radiating out from that. I masked the sun with a sticky circle, then went out a ways with Regal Rose, then bordering blue, then blue bayou. On the bottom, I sponged Always Artichoke. These colors on the marbled base I began with were a perfect match for Groovy Guava and Blue Bayou so I matted with them, and mounted on a GPW base. I used my cuttlebug to emboss the florals on each side, and stamped the sentiment from "My Heart Stamps for you" in Blue Bayou.
I hope you like it.. and thanks for looking!
