Lisa is our hostess for the WTUI challenge this week - you'll find her challenge HERE. Sorry, site bug means this link won't work for a couple of hours)
This is actually plan B for me, since there was quite a bit of it that I could do in bed last week, definitely not true of plan A.
I tried Lydia's TIssue Paper Collage tutorial some time last year to see whether to feature it as a TLC, and the piece I made was on the big side and still hasn't been made into a card. Learning from that mistake, this piece turned out better.
I gessoed a piece of a dictionary page and then sprinkled Brushos and spritzed them. When dry I stamped the foliage in green ink, and the stems.
I coloured my tissue paper in bed; the two flowers on the left are cut with a rolled flower die, and I just free-handed the one on the right. Once stuck down and dry, the doodling was also a good job for doing in bed .
Stamped and embossed a sentiment, then also added the sentiment from an Art Journey set, stamped twice so that I could cut it up and piece it back onto the card with dotted borders round each word. I added some tiny little bees from a PB clear set, and Stickled their wings. Edged the piece with a gold distress crayon.
I missed the TEXT MIX challenge because I was sick, so this plays catch-up with that since I used a dictionary page for my base, and have gesso, Brushos, distress crayon, gel and micron pens and Sharpies.
Oh, I forgot - before stamping anything else I stamped a fungus border in Versamark and embossed with clear EP, so that's a very faint layer in under everything else.

I love, love, love this card. If this were a canvas in an art gallery, I would totally buy this Sabrina. I am sooo impressed you were able to make this incredible card while so sick in bed. That is a huge wow! I am still trying to wrap my brain around all the techniques you tucked into this one incredible card. Then I decided not to do that and just enjoy the oh-so happy feelings looking at this gorgeous card brings up. ~Karen.

What an incredible piece of art on this card Sabrina. I sure hope you are feeling better. I am so sorry you have been sick in bed but am sure glad you found ways to make this stunning card for part of the time you were in bed. I will need to try this technique from the tutorials as it really turned out great on your card. And nicely done getting caught up on the MIX challenge from when you were not feeling so well too.
