Sunshiny Day by Fliss Goodwin

Hi
there, this week I have a Spring card to share which came about after a certain
song popped into my head due to the lovely sunny weather we’ve had over the
last few days – can you guess which one?
Ingredients:
That’s Crafty! Dinky Stencils – Snowdrops, Harlequin Background
DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylics – Green Gold, Titanium White, Hansa Yellow Medium, Phthalo
Green Yellow
Black
Smooth Cardstock
Small
Amount of Yellow and Dark Green Cardstock
White
Square Card Blank
Stencil
Brushes
Recipe:
I
cut a piece of mixed media paper to fit my chosen card blank and chose to use
the top end so that I could use the torn off end as part of my card – I love
the texture this adds to the design.
I
coloured the paper by adding drops of the green gold and yellow paints to my
craft mat, misting with water until the paint ran, then dipping the paper in to
pick up the paint until I was happy with the effect.
I
next stamped on the script image from the texture stamp set with the fern green
ink, stamping in a random fashion. I used the harlequin stencil to add random
texture with the modelling paste. When it was dry I brushed on the 2 shades of
green paint to add contrasting colour.
I
cut a panel of black card a little larger then the snowdrop stencil and used a
stencil brush to create my snowdrops using the green gold and white paints. I
used a couple of coats to build up the colour. As you can see, the image really
pops against the dark background. I trimmed the panel a little and added mats
of dusty yellow and dark green (I actually used Distress cardstock as the
colours are fabulous).
I
assembled the card as seen in the photo, adding my chosen sticker to finish.
Have
a great weekend and see you next week for some rather exciting happenings here
at That’s Crafty! Blog, which we can’t wait to share!
