I used MFT Heavyweight Card Stock in Black Licorice and Razzle Berry with Razzle Berry, Cotton Candy, Black Licorice and Blu Raspberrry Premium Dye Ink. I also used Tim Holtz Distress Woodgrain Watercolor paper.
I wanted to try the "new-to-me"
Smooshing Watercolour Background technique for this card and I'm SO happy I did...LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! I also used the "reverse watercolour" technique for the leaves and the flowers, which is basically, strategically cutting them from watercoloured paper that I smooshed up ;)
So, taking inspiration from the phone case, pretty wallet and flamingo pool floaty in the inspirational photo I used the Insta-Frame Confetti Cuts as the main panel for this card and popped a couple cute flamingo friends up on the Blu Raspberry watercoloured panel from the Fabulous Flamingos Stamp set and coordinating Confetti Cuts. I also added a few flowers with pretty leaves cut with the Flowers for Mom Confetti Cuts and Leafy Confetti Cuts.
I cut the
Hello Confetti Cuts from Black Licorice Heavyweight Cardstock several times and layered them for added dimension. I embellished with some Hemp Twine and
Your Next Stamp Gumdrops. I tucked two little fishtail flags under the side of the Insta-Frame that were leftover die cut pieces from the
Double Banner Garland Confetti Cuts that I used on my last card, Unicorn Wishes.
As per usual, I finished off the inside of the card with a few more flamingos and an embossed sentiment from the Fabulous Flamingos Stamp set on Black Licorice Heavyweight Cardstock cut with the Stitched Flag Trio Confetti Cuts.
