Challenge time at Stampin' Royalty. Today's challenge, should you choose to accept it is to make a ONE LAYER card.
I did accept and broke out my new favorite stamp set... Pop Of Paradise.
I started by stamping the flamingo image in Melon Mambo and embossing it with clear embossing powder, so it would resist the background of leaves that I stamped.
Then I pulled out my new Emerald Envy stamp pad to stamp the leaves. To give the card the Ombre effect I stamped the leaf off once on my scratch paper and then onto my card for the second row of leaves. The third row I stamped the leaf off twice and the last row I stamped it off three times before stamping the card.
For the sentiment I used an Aqua Painter and Memento Ink. I LOVE my Aqua Painters, they are a paint brush that has a reservoir to hold water. I have found that adding drops of ink with the water is so much fun. And it my current favorite tool for brush lettering. I started brush lettering this winter and was NOT great at it when I started, but then I learned a few basics and found that when I put that with my own hand writing I was getting results that I liked! I love adding my own hand written sentiments to my hand made cards. Which is what I did here, with drops of Memento ink mixed with water in my AquaPainter.
I also used my Aqua Painter to splatter my card. First. I just dipped my water filled AquaPainter in Melon Mambo ink and splattered my card by tapping the brush against my finger over the card. Then I decided I wanted a bit of black and used my ink filled brush. I maybe should have stopped with the melon, but it was just too much fun.
