MIX17 Rough Shrub
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: ckbythesea

 I made this card for the Mix-Ability challenge and was contemplating ditching it until I decided to add blossoms. I started after viewing the lovely pendants at Jennspendants Etsy shop:

The background is glossy white paper to which I applied classic ink pads directly to the paper. I used a Crafters Work Shop stencil and tried to create a rough tree with Goosebumps matte spray, but I guess the stencil was not the right application, so I sprinkled some sand on while it was drying. Next I dabbed on brown acrylic paint, still using the stencil. The result shouted "needs blossoms!", I didn't have small pink ones but settled for pale yellow. The centers are smooth Liquid Pearls. TFL!

Beautiful texture here, and I love your color palette!

The blossoms look like they were part of your plan! And the yellow goes great with your bg. Very nice card!
