Hello there! I so appreciate you returning to my blog to see what I created for my second day of Growing in Unity. I am so thrilled you are here. I really tried to capture the essence of this card with the pictures I took. You're just going to have to trust me, when I say that it is so pretty in person. I was inspired by some videos I have seen on IG by Katie Pertiet in making this card. Here is the process: First, I applied two Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks, one at a time to an acrylic block, spritzed with water, and smooshed onto watercolor paper. Once it dried I stamped the text stamp from the May 2024 Whit Kit, Wings & Things, randomly. I then applied a thin layer of white acrylic paint. Using my Misti, the floral was created by using Tim Holtz water color pencils directly onto the floral stamp. I dipped the pencil into water and colored directly onto the stamp. I repeated these steps until desired image was achieved. Black and gold paint splatters were also added. The floral stamp is from the June 2020 SMAK Kit, start where you are. I cut the main piece using the largest scalloped arch die by Unity. Embossing folder is Stampin' Up. I inked the embossed panel and rounded the top corners. The sentiment is from the April 2022 Sentiment Kit, love you dearly. It was added using foam adhesive. A hole was punched into stamped panel to allow the brad to go through the lace and paper.
Oh yeah, here is the card:
