I love to put phrases or words on my cards...somehow it doesn't seem finished w/o them. I used 3 words of the Believe set (4 wouldn't fit, so I picked my fave 3) & an alphabet letter w/ a couple of snipped letters from a die to complete the ART word.
I'm also adding this to the Fan Club angles gallery because I put the paintbrush on an angle.
I pulled out some Distress Inks & a craft sheet to make my background. The inks were pressed onto the craft sheet, a little apart, then I spritzed it w/ water until they started to run & pressed the piece of water color paper onto the watery inks. After the first pressing, I dried it just a bit w/ my heat tool then pressed it again until I was happy with the way it looked. After drying it again, I put the bg into my Misti & stamped the Dream, Imagine & Create words on the large bg & the A onto a die cut square of another section. The Misti really helped as I had to stamp these twice to get good coverage on the textured water color paper.
On the A, I used a paintbrush loaded w/ clear water & a paper towel to lift some of the color inside the A and inside the frame. Then I used Tombow makers to add the green. I also added the green to 2 letters I cut apart from the Create die to form the rest of the “Art”. The little bead curtains were made using the little chain from the Ornament Pops set & filling in the circles w/ the green marker.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups are on my blog: The Write Stuff
