I was inspired to play with this week's Muse Challenge.
Just look at this beautiful muse!
Karen M.'s card reminded me of a stamp set that I have.
So I pulled it out and this is what I came up with:
These beautiful blooms are from the Tropical Sensations designed by Mona Pendleton for MFT.
First, I spritzed my watercolor paper with water and ran it through some Tumbled Glass Distress Ink.
After it was dry, I stamped the blooms with Versamark Ink and then heat embossed them white.
I stenciled some areas with a dark blue Gelato and a Checkerboard stencil (also by Mona Pendleton for MFT). I then covered it all with Modge Podge, so everything would not smear. I added some white Liquid Pearl to the black scalloped borders.
I am going to send this card to one of my friends who has helped me a lot during my recovery!
Hope you are enjoying your weekend!
Thanks for stopping by!
Mackie
