{Spotlight Project} Turn a Mess into a Card with Cornelia


Hi, Cornelia here today, making a big mess...


The inspiration from this card probably comes from Eileen Godwin - I think she did something along those lines a while ago.....and if it come from somewhere else the I don't remember, although you may want to checkout Eileen's blog anyhow - it's a feast for the eyes!

I started out with picked raspberry distress ink, smearing it onto an acrylic block and spritzing it with water and then pressing it onto my card stock. Repeated the same thing with chipped sapphire.




Pounced some Hero Arts Neon yellow onto the card.



Positioned my Happy Flowers stencil (after I dried the ink with a heat tool) and sponged black soot distress ink onto the stencil.



Added some stamps from the Mixed Media Elements and did some sponging around the edges.




Could not decide on a sentiment - can always add one later.


Hope you liked this. Are you up for making a mess?

See you next year!
