this is my card for Lee's HYCCT1519 challenge "Pinkaliscious!!!" - to use the word PINKALICIOUS and unscramble 3-4 words from those letters that apply to your card!! For example: Ink, Pink, Clip, Pin........and many more!! I came up with pink, ink, and (faux) silk.
The image was stamped on watercolor with an india ink pad using the MISTI too. I left the stamp on the MISTI for use later. I watercolored the background using Distress inks and let it dry. I placed it back into the MISTI and stamped again with VersaMark. I wasn't as careful as I should have been putting the paper back in, because as I heated the custom ep, I saw that I was slightly off. I'd love to say that I did it purposely, because the shadow effect looks cool, but I'll be honest After embossing, I colored the butterflies with Spectrum Aqua markers.
I didn't have any paper in a color that looked right to use behind the tissue paper for my faux silk background, so I used a scrap of a dark peach color and gave it a light coat of gesso. While it dried I stamped the tissue paper with the music image in Desert Sand ink. I used a gloss gel medium to attach the tissue to the gessoed cs and applied a light dusting of glitter while the medium was still damp.When the background was fully dry, I stamped and embossed the sentiment and assembled the card.
As always, thanks for looking!

Jody this is so beautifully done! Love your word selections too. The Faux silk turned out great and I think it looks great inked off just a bit as it does show like a shadow effect. Beautifully done.
