Hello there friends I've had a little play in my craft pod this afternoon
This started out as a bit of a mess!
Using watercolour card I've haphazardly 'painted / daubed' purple shades
of Distress Inks and Gamsai Kuretake watercolour paint. Mixed, drizzled,
spritzed and splattered with water before drying then stamping the flower
images from Uniko: Pure Florals - Chrysanthemum in Versamark then
heat embossing with silver EP. I splattered the cardbase with some surplus 'paint'
added a strip of silver glitter card, heat embossed a sentiment from the same set,
popped the die-cut florals up on 3d foam then added a few sequins to finish.
My inspiration for the design came from Marika who is the Guest Designer over
at Time Out Challenges and the challenge is to CASE Marika's card
'with your own twist' ... I couldn't resist going with a purple shade and florals.
Here's Marika's card:
