This card is layer upon layer upon layer. I started with white cardstock. I used markers to ink spray smash. I used the colors for the challenge. I did that 3 times letting it dry in between. I stamped and masked the flowers and stamped more flowers. I stamped the music notes, chicken wire and two silhouetted dragonflies. I then used acrylic paint to paint the flowers and leaves. For the yellow and white flowers I did more than just paint. I mixed the paint with Aleene's tacky glue and painted the flowers. Then I took my heat gun and purposely overheated the glue and made it bubble. It gave them a really cool texture. You can see it better on the close up I shared. I drew raindrops with a black ink pen and pencil. I added white drops and curve with white acrylic paint. I took a toothbrush and the white paint and splattered the background. I stamped the dragonfly and watercolored him and fussy cut him out. I put glue on his body and tip of tail an tips of wings. I used the handle of a paintbrush to make the wings and his body curve and make him 3-d. I added diamond glitter to his wings. I added two different types of purple glitter to the flowers. I took a black marker and a ruler and framed the background. I put two strips of border punched white cardstock behind the panel. I then made it into an easel card. I used the dessert of pearls as the stopper for the easel. Thanks for taking a look. Thank you color combo hostesses. Comments are always appreciated. Have a blessed day.
