Hello Friends! Kay Miller from My Joyful Moments here today, and I am super excited to be here on the Wplus9 blog! I have been a huge fan of Dawn's for several years, ever since I discovered Wplus9.
I have a card to share with you today using some gorgeous products that I just love! I don't think I'm the only one who fell head over heels in love with the Free Hand Florals stamp set. I am also using an older set, Lacey Layers, which I've had in my stash for a long time that I dearly love! It's so great for layering and building collage type cards.
So for my card, I started by watercoloring the background using a light tan dye ink on watercolor paper. When this was dry, I splattered some more of that same color ink around. I let this dry well. I then stamped two of the medallions from the Lacey Layers set with that same tan dye ink that I used for the watercoloring. I adhered these to my watercolored panel with foam tape.
I then stamped the roses in three different shades of pink and the leaves in two shades of green. I cut those out with the companion dies. After arranging them just perfectly, I adhered them with foam tape.
The sentiment is from the Strictly Sentiments 2 stamp set. I stamped it in the same tan dye ink that I used on the medallions, and cut it out with a banner die. I adhered this just under my cluster of roses with foam tape. I felt like my card still needed something under the banner for balance, so I added one more bunch of the green leaves just underneath.
I adhered this whole panel to an A2 size top folded white card base and added a few clear sequins.
I hope you have enjoyed my post today and are inspired to create something beautiful! Thank you so much for stopping by, and a huge thanks to Wplus9 for having me for a guest!
