Outside the Box
Last week Stampendous & Dreamweavers collaborated & the results were really incredible! Most of the projects were completely out of my league, but I loved seeing them.
I was inspired to make my failed water splats piece using watercolor paper into a card. I began by spraying it with Delusions Turquoise & Tattered Angels Green. Then I dry embossed it & die cut the Memory Box poppies. I inlaid the poppies I die cut from gold cardstock. The background is made with a Dreamweavers stencil, modeling paste & gold embossing powder on a scrap of black textured cardstock. I mounted the poppies panel with foam tape before wrapping with 2 gold ribbons. Finished off with Authentique letter stickers. May be hard to tell, but Wendy's card did
inspire me. My first time to enter a Dreamweavers challenge. I'm also linking up at Pixies Snippets Playground. Sometimes it's good to try something you're not so sure about. This isn't something I'd do every day, but I am pleased with how it turned out. Thanks so much for all the encouragement--it means a lot to me.
