This mixed media card was a lot of fun to make! Prompt 20 is
Diamonds and Pearls.
I cut a piece of watercolor paper 4-3/4” x 6-3/4” for the
card front. I spritzed the paper with
water, then used a sponge dauber to add the different blue and green inks. The blue spray blob in the top is from Limor
Webber’s 2014 “steampunk” collection at Lindy’s Stamp Gang.
I used a foam stamp that has three diamonds on it with two
colors of green inks. I stamped the lighter color first, then over-stamped with
the darker color. After that, I stamped
the flower from Totally Tracy’s set, “Let It Go,” in Archival Black ink. I painted
the petals and leaves with different colors of watered down inks. After the
page was dry, I lightly smeared a charcoal pencil around the diamonds and used
Liquid Pearls to create the textured flower center.
The card front was layered onto navy blue cardstock (4-7/8’
x 6-7/8”) and then glued to a 5 x 7 card base.
(Yes, I know! I am a
couple days behind on the prompts! I haven’t
even started Prompt 21, Ghost Writing.
