A big congrats to Robin, the newest Featured Stamper! After much browsing, I chose THISto case. I kept the basic layout but used different images, different colors & made a water color bg instead of using designer paper. I'm also combining this with the Inspiration Challenge & THIS was my abstract inspiration.
To make my background, I sprayed parts of the w/c paper w/ water then sprinkled on the Brushos crystals & spritzed w/ water again. Most of the time, I used a heat gun to dry it in between colors so they wouldn't make mud. When completely dry, I stamped the butterfly corner w/ Versamark & clear embossed. Then I used a very wet paintbrush to wet the areas inside the embossed flowers & a paper towel to lift some of the color.
The butterfly on top was heat embossed w/ white ink & white powder on a separate piece of painted bg & die cut w/ the matching die. The You was also die cut out of the same bg.
Congrats again, Robin! Closeups are on my blog: The Write Stuff
