This is for several challenges on Splitcoast. First the Inspiration Challenge, I was inspired by this Fish Pin 6 For the MIX4, we are to use water based mediums and I used water based reinkers and shaving cream on top of water to create my background. And last but not least, the LOVEFEST2013H challenge by Unity, colors and a picture. I used the colors as my starting point.
For my card, I made a Shaving Cream bg and when dry, I black embossed the image on top.
The words were stamped on two sides of the lt green bg and some embossing was added and sponged a bit on top. I left a narrow border around the image when I trimmed it and then attached it to dk green layer w/ a punched side and then a gold textured layer. A little sponging was added to the gold layer, the large lt green textured layer and also the 5.5 x 4.25 ivory card. The sentiment was stamped in two directions on the lt green layer and I sponged over the top of some added embossing on the left side.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups and more details on my blog: The Write Stuff

Dang girl, knowing your space is limited and you clean up after you create a card I am in awe of this beauty. Its scary to think what you would create if we gave you a whole room!! Love the colors, the technique, just all around gorgeous.
