Today I'm excited to be participating in the May Papertrey Ink Blog Hop - it's always SO inspiring to see what everyone has created from the challenge.
and here's the inspiration - the challenge is to use Grey Text over Watercolor
I decided to use the lovely fern stamps from Meadow Greens. First I spritzed a panel of Arches Watercolor Paper with water. Then I inked up the ferns with Bright Buttercup and Vintage Jadeite Inks and stamped them onto the wet paper.
I dried the panel with my heat tool and then stamped over the ferns again to put back some detail. Then I stamped the sentiment from the same set over the ferns using Stormy Sea Ink.
I love how it came out! I added 3 Lemonade Blend sequins from Avery Elle and then adhered the panel over a white card base.
Now I'm off to check out everyone's lovely cards over at Nichole's blog!
