Day 3 ~ Growing in Unity!

Uncategorized 1 Minute

With each new day, I wake up hoping for peace. Today I share another card with thoughts of the people in Ukraine and all over the world during these times of social unrest and atrocities. Sending love, peace, strength and hope….

To create this card, I began by stamping the mixed-media style stamp with grey distress ink on the right side of the panel. Next I stamped the large floral image with Versafine ink. I embossed it with clear powder. Using Prize ribbon, I water colored the background adding blotches of color. Next I painted the blossoms with Mustard seed. Then I stamped the sentiment in Versafine ink and the paint splatter image in three areas for balance and grounding. Finally, I used Stickles glitter glue to add that extra special touch!
To add depth to this card, I repeatedly added dark areas in specific areas under the blossoms. I also did the same with the petals, layers of yellow closest to the center.
LIfe is better with friends. I am actually getting together with friends today for coffee. It’s been two years of little social interaction and I want to connect with friends again. It is so good for the soul and helps keep everything in perspective!
Supplies I used. Clear embossing powder highlights the image and also permanently sets the color. If you choose to water-color the background, it will not run.
