The
September Pinkfresh Challenge is Watercolor/Mixed Media. Once again I used my PF Hello with a Bouquet die. I ended up with 2 cards.
To begin I pulled out my Hero Arts Liquid Glimmer Inks to use as watercolors. I did a wash of blue in the center of a watercolor panel & blended into green on the outer edges. When it dried I die cut the bouquet. Then I watercolored another panel going for darker blue & green to be the background. However, I just wasn't happy with the lack of contrast, so I die cut the bouquet again from black cardstock. The first card is the result. I covered the letters with Nuvo Glaze & mounted them with foam tape.
The second card is made with my first die cut which I attached to black cardstock after brushing it with a shimmer pen. I covered the letters with Nuvo Glaze & attached them in place without foam. I still have a huge stash of gems, so added a few clear ones to finish it off.
Since I mostly send friendship cards, these are perfect to have in my stash. I'm also entering
