Wild Meadow Dream Card created for Chocolate Baroque Colour Challenge 24

Here is a quick and easy project that I created for the Chocolate Baroque Colour Challenge 24. Loving the vibrant colour scheme this month. Materials:

• Words of Inspiration, Texture Fragments and Wild Meadow stamp sets
• Card blank approx. 15 X 12cm, white stamping card (trimmed to fit)
• Spectrum Noir Aquatints (yellow, orange, violet)
• Dye based inkpad (violet)
• Alcohol marker (black)

How to make it:

1. Lightly spritz the card with water and paint with inks, blending yellow into orange and violet. Dry.
2. Sponge water onto the texture stamp and randomly stamp over the background. Repeat stamping will pick up and transfer some of the underlying ink. Blot with tissue. Dry.
3. Stamp the thistle with violet ink. Repeat stamp to give paler background impressions (second generation ink stamping).
4. Partially ink the sentiment stamp to create the sentiment and ‘background’ text.
5. Outline the panel and card blank with the alcohol marker to frame. Glue down the panel
