I wanted to try to create a card inspired by this lovely card at the Tag You're It! Challenge.
I started by stenciling Cup O' Joe Ink into a Kraft card base using SRAMPlorations ARTplorations Nested Circles.
I tried getting the same effect on my tag using watercolor paint, but couldn't find a way to minimize the brush strokes. I realized after the fact, I should have put paint onto my craft sheet and wiped my tag through it for a softer effect.
Next I stamped the bride and groom from STAMPlorations Ever After on top of the dried paint. I clear embossed multiple times to try to get a more solid contrast to the paint. I added a sentiment from the same set.
I also took my inspiration for stamping on top of the painty texture from this card at the STAMPlorations Inspiration project.
I finished with twine, a piece of a Hambly transparency and some washi tape. In my opinion, not particularly my best work, but I learned a few things in the creative process … and for me, that's a win.
I'm also joining AAA Cards where the theme is Stencils.
I think this is lovely. The silhouette of the couple is striking against the watercolored background. Thanks for playing along with us at Tag You’re It!
Super stencilled background, love the earthy colours. Thanks for playing at AAA Cards.
Hi Stef, thanks for using my card as starting point! Love the stenciled Kraft background and the aqua blue/green makes for a stunning contrast! Thanks for playing again with us at STAMPlorations!
