Hello Beautiful

 Hi crafters!  I have pulled the watercolour inks back out for this card.  I used the Lime Sherbert, turquoise Cascade and Ray of Sunshine Yellow Pearlescent Watercolour Inks all over the card.  I spritzed them with water then allowed them to move a bit before adding a piece of cling film and scrunching it.  I set it aside to dry overnight.  Once dry, I removed the cling film and  stamped the card with the crackle stamp from the Background Slices clear stamp set inked with Black Archival ink.  I cut the Eliza die in white, added a white backing then cut the centre out of it.  I added a piece of clear acetate then added mounting foam to raise it.  I added it to a white card cut with the Double Stitched Squares.  From the Hello Die/Stamp Bold Shadowed Sentiment set, I cut the word Hello out of some leftover of the water coloured card and glued it across the acetate.  I used the matching stamp set to stamp the word beautiful and cut it out with the tag die in the set then added it with foam.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/4"  x  7 1/4"  in size.  

I put the names of the die winners on the blog late yesterday.  Please scroll down to see if your name is on the list!  We still have several that were not claimed yet!  All for now, Sue x

  2. Hi Sue I love how your mind works and how your hands follow suit, my ideas always look ok in my minds eye but transfer that to paper - and it turns into the biggest mess ever, although I'm loving the results of pixies and clingfilm that's about my limit lol.
    A beautiful sample and its green!!
    Well done to all April launch winner's have fun with your gifts. Sending much love to all xxx

  22. Hi Sue, firstly congratulation to all April release winners; have a wonderful time with your goodies. Great background and card Sue, indeed the background reminded me of a snake which if you put a very large eye in the middle would also make a great card for a young person. WakeyL

  31. Hi Sue. Love how you have created the background using the inks and what a great idea to use the crackle stamp on top of it. Using the white accents has really made the colours of the background pop.

  35. That background really zings! I don’t know where I’ve been but I didn’t realise there was a crackle stamp! Probably easier than using crackle paste! Thank you ?Sue.
