Hello and welcome! I'm up on the Memory Box blog today with 2 fun cards using goodies from the fall release. Here are the new dies I used for today's card:
Starry Collage 94631
Wild Spiral 94629
I also used the previously released Geometric Crystals embossing folder 1016EF and the Sylvan Butterfly 94577.
Here's another look at my card:

I used watercolor card stock and smooshed lots of Distress oxide inks and after it dried I used it to die cut the stars, butterfly background and I also cut 2 spirals out of it.
I used the 2 swirls that I cut from the watercolor smooshed cards and backed them in white card that had been embossed with the 3D embossing folder. The sentiment is from the same Big and Little words set that I used on both cards, stamped in black in on white card.
The butterfly background was cut from the same watercolor card and the top of the butterfly was cut with black card. I added blue tiny gems from the Christmas Jewels set. The card base was made by taking a mini slimline card and cutting it to 3" by 5.5" and I added a diagonal black card piece to give it more interest.
Here's one last look at card #1:

Now on to card #2:

I save one panel of watercolor smooshed card that I cut the swirl out of to be my card's focal point. I backed the opening of the swirl with black card and then added the whole panel to an A2 card base. Next I added layers stars, black and watercolor, randomly around the card. The sentiment is from Big and Little Words stamp set heat embossed in white on black card. I really like the way this turned out, it almost looks like a cartoon drawing!

ReplyDeleteYou always come up with some interesting designs and I love both of these. The background you created is quite special.
