{Spotlight Project} Cornelia Makes a Get Well Card


Hi, Cornelia here today making a get well card using Blossom Overture, Mini Mixed Media Backgrounds, and ARTplorations Shutters stencil.



I started out by stamping the morning glory

...colored it with Inktense pencils

...then added water. Isn't it amazing how the colors develop with water?

Next I made a mask with post-it notes.

And sponged with the stencil in place.

Now what? I did something on the left that I did not like at all - it went into the garbage....

I cut the panel and dry embossed green cardstock with the stencil to give it some subtle texture. I stamped some more with the Mini Mixed Media Backgrounds and added black splatters to my panel (masked the Morning Glory, to leave it splatter free). I also added glossy accents to the flowers. 

And lastly, I put everything together and added the sentiment.



See you again in two weeks!

    LOVE how you used the stencil for both dry embossing and ink embossing, ties the whole card together beautifully!

    I like the two different uses of the stencil. The dry embossing is subtle but effective.

    Smashing card. I love this kit. Thinking about putting it as one of birthday "wish list" items. Got a bit of a wait until November, though. lOL. Cheers.

    Gorgeous card Cornelia. TFS all your steps. I have never tried dry EB with a stencil. Great idea for a subtle texture. Your masking worked so well for your stamped and stenciled bg too. TFS your beauty. Hugs..
