IC404 ~ Aquarius Cosmos
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: SmilynStef

 My card for this week's Inspiration Challenge was inspired by the amazing Aquarius - sapphire PRIMA wallpaper by Eskayel ... just looking at it made me want to get inky, which is my favorite type of inspiration.

I started by coloring with gelatos down one side of a piece of thick watercolor paper. I sprayed with water and used a paintbrush to spread the color across the card. Next I sprayed with water again and tipped the paper so the color ran in streams down the card (perfect for the MIX31 Challenge to Drip, Drip, Drip).

I layered on several other colors of gelatos repeating the process with my paintbrush and even some baby wipes to blend, until I got an effect I was happy with (it took several tries, but I had lot of fun just playing).

Once it dried, I stamped my River City Rubber Works sentiment in India Ink and clear embossed. I finished with a black frame & a few black metal embellishments on the corners.

I hope you find Inspiration.
